The main alternative to Pantone is to simply ask people to measure the color they want and supply the L*a*b* measurement to their print provider. ASE files consisting of names and spot color L*a*b* measurements can also be compiled and used as a communication between print customers and print...

I learned my answer from Wasatch today. They told me that what I referred to as a simulation profile they refer to as a color transform. I was also informed that a device link profile can be placed into a color transform.

I was wondering if Wasatch RIP can support a simulation profile in a media configuration to do proofing of another printer's output?

The only meaningful specifications of a color are either a L*a*b* number or a spectral reflectance distribution. You get these by actually measuring the color, or by having access to Pantone's L*a*b* specifications for their various swatches. If someone provides you with an image file as their...

I'm curious- could you please elaborate on what is deficient in color replacement in Ergosoft?

Try L*a*b* 71 6 23. This is based on using the photoshop eyedropper tool on your image, taking from the middle of the C in the second Cuba.

You may want to re-explore the nix: https://www.nixsensor.com/color-sensor-recommendation/ You may notice that they support pantone matching based on the feature chart. The color libraries are a feature based on annual or monthly license charges. The Nix products are not suitable for color...
