    Is an iGen 4 really worth it?

    We have the iGEN 4 here. Originally had a DocuColor (fair) Then an iGEN 3 (maintenance and technician nightmare) (Seems like we had 3 Xerox techs on staff as they were here constantly) Now the iGEN 4 (it is a dream) We never see a tech - and if we do, it is to work on the 3 again. We use the new...

    CMYK to Pantone converter

    If a person - as the OP noted - is using Illustrator ... Why wouldn't one just set the color profile for the output device desired or color space desired and just use the built in script in Illustrator to convert any CMYK value to the appropriate PMS color?
