Specifying tints You can specify a tint color and amount in the CMYK or RGB sys- tem. Tinting with white screens the original color. The screen per- centage is 100 minus the tint value. For example, 80 percent white tint results in 20 percent of the original color. For other tint colors, Canvas multiplies the tint values by the differ- ence between the original and tint color values, and then adds the result to the original color values. Commercial color reference systems You can use commercial reference system colors for process and spot colors. You can choose PANTONE and Toyo color systems in the pop-up menu in the Color manager. See “Color reference systems” on page 18.319. Remember that the appearance of a commercial color on screen can differ from its appearance when printed. To view the printed appear- ance of a commercial color, consult your manufacturer’s reference documentation. For more information on process and spot color printing, see the Color Printing Guide. PANTONE The PANTONE System includes hundreds of spot col- ors designed to be printed with special inks. You should select the correct color group for the paper stock on which the colors will be printed. For example, the PANTONE CVC colors are calibrated for printing on coated paper stock. The PANTONE Pro-Sim colors are not spot colors. These colors are designed to be printed with standard process inks. Toyo The Toyo Ink system provides more than 1,000 colors in nine sets for process-color printing on various paper stocks.
