This page contains content from Ashby Mapping    revision 01/00

Purple is used by all overprint symbols. No other symbols use this colour.

There are three versions of purple in the default OCAD colour table:

It is not normally necessary to use this colour in process printing. But for those that really want to know, the closest CMYK conversion for Pantone purple is:

Cyan 43, Magenta 91, Yellow 0, BlacK 0

When you are drawing your map, overprint symbols can be added to indicate an area where there is a drawing error. By using this method, you do not break your work flow, and can come back to re-edit later.
