Correction for Note 3: I was too fast on the keyboard for this note. Thanks to Axel for questioning my directives! The output of a Clip-Check is a Compare file, and it is not possible to edit the patches for this kind of file within PatchTool. What is required is to remove the out-of-gamut patches is: i- order the patches by increasing DeltaE* (in the Tabular data tab) ii- Export the Compare file (Name and L*a*b* data only) iii- edit the file in a spreadsheet so that just the REFERENCE patches below the required DeltaE* threshold are kept. Save the file as Tab-delimited. The first line should have four fields: Name L* a* b* iv- Reopen the file in PatchTool.

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

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
