# Import Pantone & HKS Colors

> How to import Pantone and HKS spot colors into your Print.App Domain

Print.App lets you import industry-standard **Pantone** and **HKS** spot colors directly into your color collections for use in the editor.

To get started, navigate to the [Colors Page](https://admin.print.app/colors) in your Print.App Admin. You will see the **Import Pantone Colors** and **Import HKS Colors** buttons at the top of the page.

1. Select a **Pantone paper stock** from the dropdown (e.g. Paperstock, Coated, Uncoated etc.)

<Warning>
  Do NOT include the postfix letter (C, U etc.), just the numbers.
  You can import a maximum of **50** colors at a time.
</Warning>

3. Click **Submit** to import the colors into your collection.

## Import HKS Colors

Select a **paper stock** from the dropdown. The available HKS paper stocks are:

| Paper Stock          | Description              |
| -------------------- | ------------------------ |
| HKS Paperstock       | Standard HKS paper stock |
| K - Kunstdruckpapier | Coated art paper         |
| N - Naturpapier      | Natural / uncoated paper |
| E - Endlospapier     | Continuous paper         |
| Z - Zeitungspapier   | Newsprint paper          |

Once you select a paper stock, click the Submit button and the full set of HKS colors for that stock will be imported into a new color collection.

<Tip>
  After importing, your Pantone and HKS colors will appear as a color collection on the Colors page. You can then assign them to specific Design Templates using a Resource Profile.
