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. http://www.babelcolor.com/patchtool_export_img.htm 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) http://www.babelcolor.com/patchtool_target_scramble.htm 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) http://www.babelcolor.com/patchtool_gamut_convert.htm http://www.babelcolor.com/patchtool_edition_mode.htm Danny Pascale www.babelcolor.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Axel Robert" <axel.robert@ubisoft.com<mailto:axel.robert@ubisoft.com>> To: <Colorsync-users@lists.apple.com<mailto:Colorsync-users@lists.apple.com>> Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2016 6:16 AM 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.
