I have been having trouble with a printer who cannot seem to match a partular blue I used in the background of a panel. I even gave him the CMYK values: C=72.5, M=72.2, Y=31, k=9 with out clearing up the problem. So I was playing around with the color. I created a patch of that color and then made a duplicate and gave it a pantone color that was close to my original color. The I bought up the color dialog box and set the CMYK values to the same as the original. The two colors did not match! Here are the examples.
I would very much like to hear a someone explain this.
Thanks
