i originally created some artwork in CMYK, the printer suggested i make it a 2 color job to get better color (some of my cmyk colors were out of their press' gamut).
Since i don't have a Pantone Tint's Book, i had to rely on photoshop for matching the CMYK version to pantone equivalents. Figured this was easy since i've done this in the past on previous CS versions with no issues.
For some reason, photoshop isn't displaying PMS colors as accurate as Illustrator.
In photoshop, the Spot Channel version matches pretty close to the CMYK version, but once it is placed in illustrator it's obvious that it doesn't match the CMYK version at all. Which is weird because when i place CMYK photoshop files into illustrator they match perfectly.
I am using the same color settings across CS3 (set in bridge).
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
