2 Choose Persistent from the swatch library palette's pop-up menu. The library will now
automatically open in the same position each time the Illustrator application is started.
To select a swatch by its name or number:
1 Select the Swatches palette or a swatch library of a particular color system (for example,
the PANTONE color system).
2 In the Find text box, type the name or the number of a swatch to select it. (For example,
in the PANTONE Process library palette you can type 11-7 CVS to select PANTONE
swatch 11-7.)
Note: If the Find text box is not available, choose Show Find Field from the Swatches
palette menu.
Choosing a custom color system
The Swatch Libraries command supports various color systems, including the following:
PANTONE Used for printing inks. Each PANTONE color has a specified CMYK equivalent.
To select a PANTONE color, first determine the ink color you want, using either the
PANTONE Color Formula Guide or an ink chart obtained from your printer. PANTONE books
are available from PANTONE's Web site.
By default, Illustrator 10.0 installs the following PANTONE Solid Coated, PANTONE Solid
Matte, PANTONE Solid Uncoated, PANTONE Process Coated, PANTONE Process Coated
EURO, PANTONE Process Uncoated, PANTONE Pastel Coated, PANTONE Pastel Uncoated,
and PANTONE Metallic.
Important: Illustrator 10.0 includes new PANTONE color libraries. If you work with an
Illustrator 9.0 or earlier file that uses PANTONE colors, the older version of the PANTONE
color is used. However, the following two situations may require you to update older
versions of a color: copying artwork that uses a spot color into a document that uses a
different spot color with the identical name; and placing an Illustrator EPS file that uses a
spot color into an application that uses the same spot color with a different name.
TRUMATCH Provides predictable CMYK color matching with more than 2000 achievable,
computer-generated colors. TRUMATCH colors cover the visible spectrum of the CMYK
gamut in even steps. The TRUMATCHCOLORFINDER displays up to 40 tints and shades of
each hue, each originally created in four-color process and each reproducible in four
colors on electronic imagesetters. In addition, four-color grays using different hues are
included.
FOCOLTONE Consists of 763 CMYK colors. FOCOLTONE colors help avoid prepress
trapping and registration problems.
A swatch book with specifications for process and spot colors, overprint charts, and a chip
book for marking up layouts are available from FOCOLTONE.
