I think I need to better understand the Lab settings.
If you don't have access to a spectrphotometer to directly measure the
PANTONE swatches you want to reproduce you could always use the PANTONE
'Lab' definition shipped with Photoshop 7.
From there, you simply convert that 'Lab' color to the color space of your
printer, presumably CMYK. The 'Lab' definition of the color is sort of
universal. Now, you just have to find the way to enter those CMYK receipes
into PosterShop so that they get selected when a PostScript job comes in
with objects using those PANTONE color names. I'm sure it must not be too
hard to activate this feature in PosterShop?
