I'm on my own and usually throw back concepts to the client. But now I'm carrying it through to the printer (Heaven help me and I am freakin out - a bit)
I need some help. Can I calibrate an old Sony Trinitron Monitor with a Huey.
Or should I just use pantone
swatches to eyeball the color?
(yeah I don't have those either)thanks for any insight!

just ask the printer to send you color proof, you screen will never match anyway..
My screen is calibrated by a pro color nerd and it still don't match!

I use the PANTONE Solid Uncoated 90% of the time, but it really depends on what you work with.

They change the name of it every year it seems but the Pantone Colour Bridge should give you solid spot colour swatches alongside what the CYMK breakdown would look like: http://pantone.com/products/prod…
I'd get one if I had any spare cash. :(

THANKS Boikov!
I had looked at the Pantone site but it was all "blah blah blah" to me .I will get the Color Bridge! Yes!
I feel so much better.
(and I get a gift of markers with purchase - Sweet)

Yes Color bridge is helpful.
Also uncoated is when you are working with stationary, invites etc that use uncaoted paper.
You coated pantone book is for brochures, annual reports, etc. These use coated papers (usually) .
