$tevie, I mean something I've designed myself, e.g., like a logo.
Reading a bit about it, I do understand that you can't "convert" from CMYK to Pantone, I'm just not understanding where the printer is getting his color palette from ... for example, one shade of green he is saying I should be using is PMS 361C. When I click on the color I have in CMYK, and hit "Custom" (I'm using Photoshop CS), the closest match I get is 339U (or if I look for a color with a "C" suffix, then 7473C is a pretty good match). Do I simply replace the color that's in my design with the 339U and send it back to him?
