Hi, John.
I have meant to ask someone at Pantone this question for a long time, and
hopefully you will be able to reply.
How did Pantone come to establish the specific press conditions you mention
for printing their color swatchbooks, specially since these do not exactly
match any existing printing standards either in North America or in Europe?
Thank you, and best regards.
