Yeh dear! Thanks a lot for the tips but does it matter if you're using a digital printing press? For example Xerox docucolor 550 printer. Can't i still work in RGB mode while designing and printing out put be perfect? sorry about the eng...

Very well Done! My only comment is that the Pantone matching system is a guide and is not exact. PMS colours do slightly change and PMS books should be updated frequently. I have many PMS books and there are noticible differences to the naked eye. The term exact match is not realistic but I think this is a great intro to CMYK and look forward to your other videos.
