Ok I *very* rarely leave YT comments and I hate most tutorials I find online but that tutorial was GOLD!!! I can't thank you enough, you have a new subscriber!
@@EricVasquezDesign I'm a small creator myself (although I use IG the most) so I know how much the follows and likes and comments mean! But also I really wanted to express how absolutely perfectly happy I am with this one! I absolutely never follow anyone through a tutorial here so it's something to comment on. Not to mention how you saved me yesterday when I had to match the Pantones on a packaging and suddenly the trusty Pantone books weren't there 😥
Thank you so much for this awesome vid! Literally a lifesaver. I forgot about the pantone severance in Adobe and now that it came time to export some cover art for printing, I thought oh no! Glad I came across this!
My pleasure! I’m glad the video was helpful for you 😊 Also, screen printing is what made me fall in love with graphic design, so I have always had great appreciation for it! Are you doing screen printing on shirts/apparel? Or what kinds of things do you print on most?
Thank you. I happen to google my problems with the Pantone, and boom, that’s a ticket! One question though is the Pantone colors scheme different from 2023 to 2024?
I think the best thing to do in this situation would be to connect with the printer or vendor you are working with directly. You could let them know you will be providing them with a file that has been converted to Pantone colors and ask if there is a specific color profile they’d like it to be in.
Hi Eric! Thanks so much for this- Question- my older version 2023 illustrator doesn't seem to have all of the Pantone swatches anyway - Most of the colours chosen in our palette, after using the pantone physical books, aren't included in the Ai swatch books. Would you recommend the Pantone connect in this case?
Thanks for your question! It sounds like the Pantone colors you are using aren’t in the Ai swatch books? I would try to install the color library first to see if you can find a match as it’s an amalgamation of all Pantone books from every previous version of Illustrator. There is also another tool called Logo Express Swatch which does a pretty bang up job of converting colors and finding matching Pantones. I will have a video about this soon!
You can download older versions of Adobe Illustrator using the main Creative Cloud App. If you just need the Pantone Color Books and want to skip downloading an older version of Illustrator you can grab the library using the link in the description of the video. Hope this helps!
Where are you getting these colors like PANTONE+ Solid Coated-V3 or PANTONE(R) F+H paper TPX-New Colors? Because I have never seen these on Illustrator
@@EricVasquezDesign Yes, but where did you get all these? Because I have downloaded an old version of Illustrator, but there was only 5 variations of PANTONE and all of them were basic... So I would like to know if these v3 and etc. are official or only created by someone using eyedropper tool?
@@jacobroddy5049 Pantone TCX is mainly used in the fashion industry where they will use cotton swatches for fabrics. Most print jobs are still using the coated and uncoated systems we are used to. Hope this helps!
Hello, when I choose the 27.0 version it gives me the following (threatening?) message: Installing this version of Illustrator will disable the auto-update setting for this app to prevent overwriting with a new version in the future. Should I continue? Thanks for your help!
This sounds like it may be a setting or preference issue where auto update is turned off to avoid overwriting older versions of Illustrator. If you install the 27.0 version, you should be able to re-enable the auto update setting in the CC app, or you can do a manual update later on. Hope this helps!
Once you are in the Applications folder you have to go to Adobe Illustrator and choose the ‘Presets’ folder. From there you can go to en US > Swatches > Color Books. Hope this helps!
Illustrator 27.0 is the oldest version of Illustrator I can download from Creative Cloud, and it has only five Pantone color books. How did you get 24 Pantone color books?
To get more of the Pantone Books you have to go back further to CS2 - CS3, which you can still download through Adobe as long as you have a valid license. I believe the link I provided should have all of them.
I haven’t trier this with the free/basic version, but as long as it lets you add your own swatches and color books through the application folder then I believe it will work.
@@valsis I agree, although think the replacement Adobe had in mind was integrating the paid Pantone extension. Even so, $10 a month just to access colors feels like a bit much when we already pay a subscription for the apps themselves.

The current Adobe Illustrator CC versions only go back as far as 28.0. And in it NO Pantone books. What would you recommend in that case?
@@janemig you will have to install the Pantone library to have them show up in the newer versions of Illustrator.
@Eric the google drive link is not working, are you able to share the swatches?
thank you SO MUCH I am going to try this now
Ditto to all the comments below, thank you so much!
Hi. Which color profile and color settings I should set on a file to pass it to printing company so that they get that it's pantone?
