What you need is a translator, but just because you have a DIC color in one does not mean those values translate directly to pantone XX.

I believe there are a few x-rite programs that come with the i1 that will translate that color to the closest approximate pantone, but I don't think Wasatch (rasterlink) licensed the pantone library. Have you tried to call Wasatch, or are they blowing you off?
