wow. that's an idea i never thought of... make my own swatch book - if they are cheap enough. you guys have some excellent advice!!! maybe my own GRACoL swatch book (and take note of the printer's other specs such as their paper, etc.)
i asked one of the online printers about if i used a color from the solid spot pantone library that they would indeed do the conversion to the CMYK on their end. only thing is they don't have a pantone book. So, I will need to ask some other printers and make sure they have a pantone printed reference book on their end.
what's the best source where to learn to calibrate my monitor? at work i have a pc lcd. At home i have a mac powerbook (summer 2005).
thanks again!
