No offense, but if this is the case, then your unit, although it may be recently calibrated, is not well calibrated. The spec for variation for the i1 pro is 0.1 dE 94. Send it back.

Thanks! For the printers who are willing to do custom mixes for non-Pantone colors - should I except this service to come at additional cost over and above the other costs associated with using spot colors?

Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. With a well calibrated spectro. While I appreciate your input, I can't believe that two spectros could vary as much as two swatchbooks possibly/probably printed in different years. And I can send the printer a swatch of the color to reference. What I am...

Thanks to both of you. Are you saying that printer wants/needs the Pantone number - to save him from trial and error ink mixing??
