> CMYK is a subset of Pantone. This is not really true. They're different things. One is spot colour, one is process colour. Process colour - lots of very small dots/splodges/lines made of just a few ink colours (typically Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). Spot colour - ink that is that colour. There is no room for intepretation with spot colour. It is the colour it is. Even CMYK can be a "different" colour. Different printers (both people and the machines) can print CMYK differently. It is possible to print CMYK without the K, for example. It's very difficult to see the difference and it saves a chunk of money on ink. The output is a different colour though. ;)
