The colors have been validated by the client on a Pantone Multiset 500,

Now, some work has to be printed in CMYK.

If I convert the swatch from spot to process, I'm given values.
If double click the swatch in the tool bar, the panel with all the conversions gives me other values (of course websecure checkbox is unchecked

)

What's the right way to convert spot to process ?

thanks.

cANTONA is absolutely right. An, even better than that, you could make a real print. If you got that chance - I recommend you to play around the initial values. For some of the colors the converted to CMYK versions are too far of the original.

Obviously, but the process swtch book goes from ten to ten, and my values are between that.

does it mean I should choose rounded values ?

what kind of color bridge do you have? it sounds like the pantone color bridge V3 should work for you.
