www.projectbbcg.guide Measure the color, get L*a*b* and spectral information, get that info into the design file, give that info to a cognizant print provider- and be off to the races.

I'm sorry, I should instead have mentioned that Pantone Connect is the current monthly rental service by which to obtain the L*a*b* value. As of this year, Pantone stopped a recent practice of releasing the L*a*b* value for the color of the year.

Please see https://www.pantone.com/color-systems/for-textiles, FAQ #2, which states(with adjustment to reflect Peach Fuzz): Pantone’s Fashion, Home + Interiors’ numbering system enables precise accuracy on a global scale. Each color has a unique location in the System’s color space, which...

color of the year usually comes from the cotton tcx deck.

You're very welcome- please tell me how things work out for you.

Thank you, I was curious. I use www.dkgroup.com's pressure sensitive laminates, but you may want to look at their thermal products.

I'm curious- why do you prefer a thermal laminate as opposed to a pressure-sensitive laminate?

The fan decks in Publisher 2.0 do not include the Cotton TCX deck, which is what Pantone references for their "Color of the Year". Not sure if this holds any actual importance in print design.

The compatibility path between Indesign and Publisher is the export from Indesign of an IDML file for import in Publisher.

I just noticed today that Pantone has removed Pantone Color Manager from its website. Oh well.

Actually it's the Danaher conglomerate, x-rite/pantone/esko is but a serf in their fiefdom.....

https://www.pantone.com/customer-service/software-download If you have an xrite color measurement device or an xrite dongle for I1profiler, you can download and use Pantone Color Manager. Pantone Color Manager can produce ASE, ACB. ACO, CXF, and CGATS files for most Pantone fan decks.

It looks like the canon ipf 6400/6450/8400/9400 collection are supported, as is the epson s80600.

Sorry for the miscommunication- this is a list from the web page of the many supported spectros: JETI specbos: 1211 & 1201, spectraval 1511 & 1501. Image Engineering EX1 Klein: K1, K8, K10, K10-A X-Rite: DTP20, DTP94, ColorMunki Design, Photo or i1Studio, ColorMunki Create or Smile, Eye-One...

ArgyllPro is an android app that supports any spectro the Argyllcms profiling suite supports- like those from Xrite. You can get a conventional xrite i1 device, a USB OTG adapter, and your smartphone to implement a convenient portable spectro solution. http://www.argyllcms.com/pro/

I resell and use Ergosoft in the US.

I'm admittedly more familiar with color management of inkjet than offset. If you wouldn't mind my asking- do you use ICC-based color management to make a profile of your press, your proofer, or both?

This recent discussion seems to be missing the most important points: 1. If you have Pantone Color Manager and an X-rite color measurement device to license it, you still have access to L*a*b*-based values for all Pantone Fan decks, at least for now. This could disappear at any time due to a...

I'm just curious, coming from a primarily wide format inkjet-based orientation with some reading knowledge of flexo- is the flexographic press stable enough as a process to enable the possibility of color management?
