Go to the printer and collect the printout. Examine the PANTONE 193 C color box
at the lower-left side of the page. The printed spot color doesn’t match the expected
hue. It should look redder. You will change its CMYK values so that the printed
results will come as close as possible to the desired color.

you edit the values, you will check them again.
