Hey Gordo love the cartoon.

I have a question concerning matching PMS colors on our Vutec HS100. Many times we get in a Litho sample from one of our sister plants that we are told to match as close as possible to the litho printed sheet (solid PMS colors). My question is this. Is there a inexpensive swatch test software that can be used? I worked for another Large Format printer that had a Colorgate rip witch had a cool swatch testing function. Our EFI rip i am told will not do a swatch test.
 
Thanks DYP. Was just informed by our EFI rep that if we upgrade to 6.3 we can do swatch tests
 
Remember colour keys, printed on clear acetate? It was imperative to keep those out of the customer's hands.
 
I sometimes yearn for the days of the darkroom and color keys and 1 or 2 color presses running process . . . those were the daze my friend

To get color accuracy back then you had to put spit between the proof's color key sheets. No kidding.
 
I remembeer . . . and then it was still a crap shoot . . . next time I see you ask me about red red red purple purple purple blue blue blue - a funny story but too long to write down.
