Pantone HexVector
Ever feel the need for more color options? If you’re a designer, then maybe, but more like probably. Never fear, Pantone is here. With HexVector, Photoshop illustrators and designers can access the larger Hexachrome gamut of colors. According to the Pantone product page, you can:
- Colorize vector graphics using Hexachrome colors. Access more than 2,000 Pantone Hexachrome colors on coated or uncoated stock and 938 Pantone Matching System Colors from the Pantone Solid in Hexachrome library.
- Create your own Hexachrome colors by entering numeric values or by adjusting the slider bars. Color changes are dynamically reflected in the Illustrator swatch palette, as well as in the artwork. When the color is perfect, just give it a name and click "Add color".
- Convert existing artwork to Hexachrome. Previously created artwork is converted to Hexachrome with just one click of the Convert all button.
- Output six-channel separations directly from Illustrator to film or plate or save the graphic as a pre-separated EPS file for use in page layout applications such as QuarkXPress or Adobe PageMaker.
