Both the Pantone and HKS color models recognize that the type of paper you print on affects how a color appears, so they have variations based on popular paper types. Here's how they work:

• Pantone Process Coated: Use this variant when you color-separate Pantone colors and your printer uses the standard Pantone-brand process-color inks on coated paper. Colors in this variant have the code DS added before the numerals in their names and the code C after the numerals.

• Pantone Solid Coated: Use this variant when your printer uses actual Pantone-brand inks (as spot colors) when printing to coated paper stock. Colors in this variant have the code C appended to their names.

• Pantone Solid Matte: This is the same as Pantone Coated but for paper with a matte finish. Colors in this variant have the code M appended to their names.

• Pantone Solid Uncoated: This is the same as Pantone Solid Coated but for uncoated paper. Colors in this variant have the code U appended to their names.

• Pantone Coated: This is the generic Pantone coated color model, for use on any kind of paper. Colors in this variant have the code CVC appended to their names.

• Pantone Process: This is the generic Pantone process color model, for use on any kind of paper. Colors in this variant have the code CVS appended to their names.

• Pantone Uncoated: This is the generic Pantone uncoated color model, for use on any kind of paper. Colors in this variant have the code CVU appended to their names.

• HKS E: Use this HKS variant for continuous-form stationery. Colors in this variant have the code E appended to their names.

• HKS K: Use this HKS variant for glossy art paper (highly coated). Colors in this variant have the code K appended to their names.

• HKS N: Use this HKS variant for natural paper (uncoated). Colors in this variant have the code N appended to their names.

• HKS Z: Use this HKS variant for newsprint. Colors in this variant have the code Z appended to their names.

  Note ‚

  When printing on uncoated stock with any colors designed for use on coated stock, you will usually get weaker, less- saturated color reproduction.
