I want to print off a CMYK colour chart from our offset presses. Has anyone got one handy that they can send my way?

Something similar to this with percentage combos




I remember all my old workplaces had them.

I will have a look-see monday. Sure we have them on film from the olden daze, but not sure we have them in digital format.

we got one.
We make them from our proofers so we can see what we get for certain colors.
I'll have to look around on Monday to see where it's at.

Oooh! Can I have one too?

I've been working on a large poster showing how various resolutions compare, text sizes, raster vs vector, rich Blacks etc... Elements of a CMYK colour chart would be useful too!

Much appreciated if anyone has one to hand.

Cheers...
F*@k it!! I'll do it for free then!! Bloody salesmen...

for those of you I sent them to:
We originally had the black output to a film positive so it could be placed on top of the 3-color swatches.
It consists of three files, one for the cmy swatches (24 pages total) and 1 each of black with the scales either running top to bottom or left to right.
If you need more help or info, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the files Dave.

yes i have a 70 page cmyk chart. 6 pages of the two-color chart pages, 21 pages of CMY (no k), and 21 pages of CMY with 10%k, and 21 pages of CMY with 20%k
the chart has 400 swatches per page (increments of 5%). it took hours i cannot count....but the result is great...i couldnt find a good one anywhere so i figured....what hell
i am asking $30 (get something back for all that time!)for the file in 3 different setups.....6 up,3 up, 1 up.....and i will also include a beautiful 2800 swatch RGB chart(rgb values under each swatch.
to view the charts and download free samples stc. please go to http://motionpicturesigns.com
