If you use Pantone solid colors in Photoshop or Illustrator, use the Pantone Solid to Process library in Photoshop (cmyk color mode) for things you want to import into Illustrator. When saving a file as a Photoshop EPS, never check the button for “Postscript Color Management”.

Making sure that the pantone colours are an exact match try linking the image instead of embedding
