Pantone Process Black patinata vs non patinata
Lo stesso inchiostro, due superfici. Questo si adatta bene: le due carte danno risultati vicini, con la non patinata solo un po' più discreta. Traslucido: non copre carte scure.

Non patinata · modelled

Cosa cambia davvero
| Patinata | Non patinata | |
|---|---|---|
| Riferimento | Process Black C | Process Black U |
| Superficie | Sigillata. L'inchiostro resta sopra la patina. | Fibra aperta. L'inchiostro penetra e si espande leggermente. |
| Saturation | Piena intensità: è il campione da cui è stata scelta la maggior parte delle linee guida dei brand. | Down roughly 0% in apparent chroma. This one travels well: the two stocks land close, with uncoated only slightly quieter. |
| Detail | Linee sottili e testo piccolo restano nitidi. | Prevedi un leggero aumento del punto: i negativi sottili possono chiudersi. |
| Ideale per | Nero a un colore predefinito | Letterpress, cotone e carte materiche, quando conta la morbidezza. |
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.
Domande frequenti
- 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.
- Quale dovrei indicare?
- 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.
- Potete far corrispondere la versione non patinata al campione patinato?
- 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.
