If you look closely at the mixing ratios you'll see that they're exactly the same. Take a look at this picture I took of PMS 299 in the coated (left) and uncoated (right) mixing guide: uncoated relates to how the ink will appear on coated or uncoated paper and doesn't apply to fabric. PMS C and PMS U are both mixed together from the same 14 base colors and they use the same formulas for each color. This is largely irrelevant when it comes to printing on apparel.
My answer here should help you with that process. The best deliverable for your printer is a file with all the colors already separated onto their each layer like so:Įach of the three layers is labelled and only contains shapes with their respective colors. Your printer probably won't expect you to create the plates with the trim and registration marks †, but you can certainly help them out by separating the colors yourself. To show by example, here's a 3 color job:
This is the process of taking the artwork and (for the lack of a better term) separating the colors to facilitate the creation of the individual printing plates.
