Chapter 21:
Assigning PANTONE Colors
The Composer Assign Colors dialog box contains a process foil palette of Gerber simulations of
PANTONE® solid colors. For best results when printed on a Gerber thermal printer use Gerber
process color foils, OMEGA software, and Scotchcal Series 220 and Series 225 gloss white vinyl.
The Composer Assign Colors dialog box contains a process foil palette of Gerber simulations of
PANTONE colors. The basic procedures for filling objects are described in "Filling Objects with
Colors for Printing" and "Strokes − Adding Thickness to the Outline of Objects." The key to a
PANTONE Color fill in Composer is to select Process as the Color Type and PANTONE® solid
coated as the palette.
Note: Two other PANTONE palettes are available in the optional OMEGA ColorID program -
Gerber Spectratone PANTONE® solid colors and PANTONE® solid colors. To assign fills
using these palettes, refer to "Matching Colors with the ColorID Option."
To assign a PANTONE color fill
1 Select an object and open the Assign Colors dialog box.
2 Choose the Fill Type, Process Color Type, and PANTONE color palette.
3 Either enter a PANTONE color number in the Color Name text box or click the color
button to open the PANTONE color palette.
