Question Hi
I have an image in eps - it is 4 color print. my screen printer needs to know the pms color of image - how can I find the pms color of image in illustrator
thank you for your helo
Answer Hi John,
If you are using a version before CS3 and your image is 4 color you will need to assign pantone colors manually using the Pantone swatches palette.
If you have CS3 you can use the Live Color panel to assign PMS colors to your artwork, however, depending on the number of colors you have, it may end up being a lot of PMS colors and very expensive. Let me know if you have CS3 and I can walk you through it.
