Indeed. The whole point of Pantone, and a big part of their business model is the availability of their swatchbook, so that you literally see what result you will have on paper with their ink. Even with a carefully calibrated monitor, what you see on screen is at best an approximation of what you get in print. In general, if you are going to the bother of using a spot color you should truly know that spot color. Greg
