Jeff Harrison: If you print a Pantone Matching System palette on CMYK gear, the output results won't be of much use IMO. This is because there are perhaps 25-30% of the colors in the that palette that are outside the CMYK gamut. sure it will print, but the color you see on the final press sheet may be totally out to lunch. That's why I took the plunge to buy a PMS guide. It kinda sucks since they are so expensive... but there's really no way around it. PMS inks are very specific, and have nothing to do with CMYK.

Which is precisely the reason we printed one; to educate our customers (and new employees) on the limits of Pantone PMS within a CMYK environment -- even with a digital screen press with extended inks (light cyan and light magenta in addition to CMYK). The thing has been worth its weight in gold just in heading off problems before they develop. It sits on the wall right next to the Pantone Process Color Chart.
Now even after the SP1 release still with you David
David Milisock:Ok I'm going to be the party pooper here.
Things like Print Merge, Live text editing display errors, errors in imposition of pages with tables etc. should have been fixed
David Milisock:I wish that they hadn't touched a thing in the interface but instead spendt the time and therefore money of fixing broken things. There are plenty that could use fixing?
Any ways its better.
David Milisock:Pretty is nice but it needs to be secondary to function and feature.

Hi OB,
In my case, If a customer reaaaalllly wants PMS colors then they better be ready to pay for it.
It's a strong reason why a designer should work within the CMYK Gamut in the first place when creating color logos.
I once consulted to one shop who spent hours and hours trying to get a Pantone Day-glo orange out for their canon color laser. They called me in to see if it was possible. They had to slink back to the customer and tell them their job was about to increase in price and incur extra delays if they insisted on having that hue - which they did, since it was a primary part of their long-standing brand.

No critque, just saying that if you worked in Sweden, that scandinavian country in northern Europe, where I live, I would say PMS colours rule the logotype world. The Pantone PMS colours are THE thing on logos. Corporate or not. Its PMS,
In Germany, a bit south of Sweden, they may use HKS colours instead.

Guito,
If you dont own a X3 or X4 license, then you should buy the latest version X5 http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1191272117978#tabview=tab0
And to use CorelDRAW X5 or older versions, you should have a Mac with Intel processor and install Windows 7 or XP onto your Mac computer. There are no CorelDARW & Photo-Paint for MAC per say, but with Windows installed on your Mac it will work fine.

Jeff Harrison: One print shop called me in as a consultant once. They had spent at least half a day trying to get a flourescent orange PMS hue out of their digital color copier. LOL
Haha, well work has to give some jokes also :-)
The PMS Pantone is used mostly (99% ? ) for Logypes over here. The CMYK values also found from PANTONE is used as a reference more in line of what you mention.

this is going to be an impossible task for wide format inkjet also. mind you Roland now has a metallic silver ink which makes metallic type spot colors a new possibility in printed signage.

...yea. Roland is a little slow, but better late than never.

Adobe has one product that is sometimes worth using, and that's Photoshop. As for Illustrator, I removed it from my computer. Why? Because anything I can do in six steps in Illustrator I can do in four steps with CorelDRAW and I just plain do not like AI's format.
I hear you brother. I rarely use PS anymore either.
