bjornwildeSomeone kick me hard if I ever start to get technical with how a PMS spot color is defined. I just managed to make myself pointless work and "found" an error in accuracy for myself (I had done the project before).
For the uninitiated, spot colors in printing can be any color as long as it separates on it's own layer you can put magenta, chartreuse or any other color even if the computer file looks a certain way for that color...okay that may have still be too technical.
Okay the difference is printing the word the to a printer via MSWord or Notepad. THE WORD IS THE SAME FROM THE PRINTER.
Edited to add: I think I am getting sick...I almost just put my Airborn in my coffee instead of water.
Edited again to clarify that PMS means Pantone Matching System (PMS) in this case.
