Isn't the Wasatch SoftRip solution where you can measure the colour sample
with a spectrometer and print it in the calibrated/profiled workflow not the
best way to do it ? No dependency on the license of any arbitrary colour
sample system and the same source of colour as the designer has. As long as
your PMS samples are not too old. The profile viewer in SoftRip will also
show you whether the colour is within the gamut of the printer.
