Anyone have a PMS color chart with pms number and 'c' for coated?

[Gene@mpls]

I would like to print a new PMS chart with my new printer/ink and noticed that there is a spot library
for PMS c . I have not found a chart that has the colors named correctly. Gene

if you use corel you can make one with the macro's

Here is the one we print on all of our materials.

FWIW, the U/C at the end refers to the material that you are printing the spot color on (Coated/Uncoated) so printing the "C" color chart on matte (uncoated) is kinda incorrect.
The ink color is the same whether the material is different, it is just showing how it lays on / sinks into the material.

This is interesting. Can you explain how? Or have any links that show you how?

It's for X3 but basically the same for all versions I think

Thanks all. I don't have Corel and jfiscus' chart will not work as the colors are not named with the convention that
Vworks is looking for. It needs to be designated as a spot color and named with what VWorks recognizes (ie - PANTONE 804 C).

I think I exported this one in CMYK @ 300 dpi 50%. When printed at 200% it is 42" X 30". Some of the long names overlap, but are still readable.

Note: Made it in Corel and it says JV33 in the top left.

Let me know if you want me to send it in an editable format.

Hope it helps.

I opened jfiscus' chart in VersaWorks, and it recognized all the PMS colours. Most of them are out of gamut, but they are there.

Here is a link to one that you can download from member TrevJonez.

It is fantastic, print your own pantone style book on all media/printers in a couple easy steps. It has cut lines for cutting the books out as well. Very well put together file, and very easy to use.

He has a few other nifty scripts for Illustrator on Github as well.

Again big thanks to TrevJonez.
