Specifying tints
You can specify a tint color and amount in the CMYK or RGB sys-
tem. Tinting with white screens the original color. The screen per-
centage is 100 minus the tint value. For example, 80 percent white
tint results in 20 percent of the original color.
For other tint colors, Canvas multiplies the tint values by the differ-
ence between the original and tint color values, and then adds the
result to the original color values.
Commercial color reference systems
You can use commercial reference system colors for process and spot
colors. You can choose PANTONE and Toyo color systems in the
pop-up menu in the Color manager. See Color reference systems
on page 18.319.
Remember that the appearance of a commercial color on screen can
differ from its appearance when printed. To view the printed appear-
ance of a commercial color, consult your manufacturers reference
documentation. For more information on process and spot color
printing, see the Color Printing Guide.
PANTONE
The PANTONE System includes hundreds of spot col-
ors designed to be printed with special inks. You should select the
correct color group for the paper stock on which the colors will be
printed. For example, the PANTONE CVC colors are calibrated for
printing on coated paper stock. The PANTONE Pro-Sim colors are
not spot colors. These colors are designed to be printed with standard
process inks.
Toyo
The Toyo Ink system provides more than 1,000 colors in nine
sets for process-color printing on various paper stocks.
