Pantone Process Black estucado o sin estucar
La misma tinta, dos superficies. Este viaja bien: los dos papeles quedan muy parecidos, con el no estucado apenas más apagado. Translúcido: no cubre papel oscuro.

Qué cambia realmente
| Estucado | Sin estucar | |
|---|---|---|
| Referencia | Process Black C | Process Black U |
| Superficie | Sellado. La tinta queda sobre el estucado. | Fibra abierta. La tinta penetra y se expande ligeramente. |
| Saturation | Intensidad plena: es la muestra de la que se eligieron la mayoría de las guías de marca. | Down roughly 0% in apparent chroma. This one travels well: the two stocks land close, with uncoated only slightly quieter. |
| Detail | Trazos finos y letra pequeña se mantienen nítidos. | Cuenta con algo de ganancia de punto; los calados finos pueden cerrarse. |
| Ideal para | Negro a una tinta por defecto | Letterpress, algodón y papeles texturizados cuando lo que importa es la suavidad. |
The same ink is not the same colour on the two stocks. On coated sheets the ink sits on a sealed surface: denser, brighter, sharper edges. On uncoated the fibres absorb it: softer, duller, slightly lighter, and warm colours lose the most punch. Some colours change character outright: brights go chalky, deep navies go grey-blue.
Preguntas frecuentes
- Is Process Black C the same colour as Process Black U?
- No. They are the same ink formulation printed on two different surfaces, and PANTONE® publishes them as two separate chips for that reason. This one travels well: the two stocks land close, with uncoated only slightly quieter. If your brand guideline names only one of them, name the stock too: otherwise the press has to guess.
- ¿Cuál debo elegir?
- Specify the one that matches the paper you are actually printing on. If the job runs on uncoated stock, sign off against Process Black U: approving the C chip and then printing uncoated is the single most common colour complaint we see.
- ¿Podéis hacer que la versión sin estucar coincida con la muestra estucada?
- Not exactly, no. We can push density a little, and on some colours a double hit closes part of the gap, but the coating is doing the work: no amount of ink turns an uncoated sheet into a coated one. Where the brand colour is non-negotiable, we would look at a coated stock, a spot varnish under the solid, or foil.
- Does Pantone Process Black cover dark paper on either stock?
- Offset and letterpress inks are translucent. On a dark or coloured stock a light ink will not cover: it sinks into the sheet and reads tone-on-tone. For light colour on dark paper the answer is foil stamping or an opaque screen pass, never a straight PMS hit.
