Hello Axel
To complement what Jon Meyer mentioned.
If you have your Pantone L*a*b* database in CxF open it using PatchTool
(Warning: this program is from my company!)
1a: Export a L*a*b* image in PatchTool and print in your workflow.
or
1b: Convert to CMYK to your required profile, export a CMYK image, and print
in your workflow.

2- You can read and compare the printed patches with PatchTool also.
http://www.babelcolor.com/patchtool_patchreader_file.htm
Note-1: You may need to add some separators between patches if you measure
line-by-line using an i1Pro ruler (with a program export option)
Note-2: Or you can scramble the patches for better contrast before making
the images (of course using another of the program tools)

Note-3: You can remove out-of-gamut patches before generating the image
(using PatchTool Clip-Check/Data sent ot PCS, and then editing out the
patches with large round-trip errors)

Subject: Help - How to print a Pantone Swatch?
Hi all,
I am trying to test my proofing systems (12647-7 and 12647-8) accuracy for
reproducing Pantone colors.
I was wondering what would be the best process in order:
to create the file. Do I need export a CXF or a ASE file? If so, do I
need to remain them in Lab?
to prepare and export the file to be printed: resolution, size patch,
colorspace.
to be able to retrieve the name on each tint if it's feasible...
Thanks a lot beforehand.
Regards,
Axel
