Hi All,

I used to be able to recolour an illustration by choosing recolor artwork and then choosing the Pantone coated colour book.

Now that we have to use Pantone connect does anyone know how to recolor artwork for Pantone coated using Pantone connect without having to go through each piece of my illustration and find closest Pantone?

Many thanks

Did you ever get an answer on how to do this. I'm wondering the same thing.

I'm having the same issue...there doesnt seem to be a way of adding Pantone Connect to the original recolour artwok colour books...very frustrating.

If you know the spot colors or have a physical book you can save a new file, modify the rgb swatches to Spot Color and name them Pantone accordingly. They just have to separate correctly. The actual color/ink is purely determined on press.

Hi, im trying to automatically convert colors used to Pantone Coated.

You were able to select graphic, the go to Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor artwork

From the Recolor artwork panel then click on "Edit" Button, then click on the six square icon under "None"then choose color book and then choose Pantone Coated

I don't use Pantone Connect so I can't answer that, but you can put the Pantones Swatches back in Illy by copying the color books from previous version into the latest, see this and various other answers on this forum, just search Pantone:
