Here is a link to a white paper by Onyx about Spotcolor tables used with
Postershop.

If I remember correctly the table works best with Pantone colors coming
from Illustrator 9 because the naming convention matches the names from
the Pantone Library from Illustrator 9.
Quark uses a different naming convention and so Onyx will use your media
profile rather than your Spot Color Table. You will need to update your
color table in order to have Quarks naming convention used, or for any
other program you use that is a different name than used by Onyx.
You also need to tell the RIP to use the Spot Color Table, it is off by
default.
If you have something to measure color patches you can also print your
on CMYK matches and read those and add them to the table.
It's great when it works but it can be time consuming getting there.
