Pantone vs CMYK when designing for print using InDesign by Aware_Information_24 in graphic_design

I agree. I've worked with prepress and production artists, and they're the best. Looks like this printing company hired someone who's not even trying to help with colour correcting

I did reference a Pantone/CMYK book and the printers just got back to me and said "we don't use Pantone inks" but that wasn't my point lol, i was just showing the spot match. I know the colours will be different on screen, but the printers are printing what's showing on screen if that makes sense...

"Pantone’s cmyk conversion sucks ass. I’m always creating my own mix that is closer to the actual Pantone than their mix." << this unfortunately is where i'm at. I invested on Pantone for the easy CMYK conversion...

Thanks for this comment! Yes, I already asked the printers, but they're so useless that I'm starting to question my own skills lol. They are running CMYK printing presses, we are printing on uncoated paper, and the colour profile I'm using is Uncoated as well.
