Kaleidoscope - Pantone matching problem.

[Gramshi]

Matching pantone colors with kaleidoscope is very problematic.
I think main problem is converting pantone colors to CMYK profile space.
In the Conversion Flow settings in Color Strategy, there is no any option to uncheck "Convert Special Inks" (Please look at screenshot)

On the same printer (Epson Pro 7880) GMG's Pantone simulation results very good but Kaleidoscope (Flexproof E) very bad. I think GMG do not convert color space for Pantone colors.

I am not agree with you. We have long term experience for : GMG ColorProof and Esko FlexProof/E + Kaleidoscope. Both solutions are good, but Kaleidoscope has big advantages to obtain Pantone colors matching. First of all, I recommend you to read carefully chapter "Dealing with Special colors" (Kaleidoscope User Manual). In case of specific questions, pls, let me know.
