Sorry if you took it as getting at you, I wasn't getting at you in any way, it was not intended.
Seen the argument that "Pantone is not reproducable with CMYK", and just wanted to stop the missconception spreading (seen it in other forums too).
The idea comes from I want a bluer blue so I have to go Pantone and add a fifth colour. But we often print gray pantones, not because they are not reproducable, but because we do not want raster points or missregistration. This is why at times it is good to know that a Pantone colour can sometimes replace a CMYK with identical colour value.
Was not at all questioning your mothodology for gaining a proof that would predict the results. A proof is after all the only "dressrehearsal" we get before printing a job, and usually the contract that binds the customers expectations.
My other half of the message was meerly to point out that there is a general sloppines in using pantone scale and often find customers quoting a pantone coated colour even if printed on uncoated. To be aware of what the pantone system is and how it works.
