Certainly my experience is contrary to this. I tried for some time
to get Pantone to talk about licensing their electronic swatchbook
to us, so that we could translate spot colors into L*a*b* and then
run the colors through our profiles and calibration system,
and they steadfastly refused, insisting that the "best" way
was for them hand calibrate all our products.
At something like $US10K a pop, and given the thousands of
combinations of products, devices, media and profiles
we currently sell, this was hardly a practical proposition.
Comparing some of our competitors Pantone certified spot
color results to the results we get when running the L*a*b*
numbers through our profiles and calibration system,
I know which approach I prefer from a technical and
visual accuracy point of view !
