    that's pretty much what I said... isn't it horton?

    diff. paper absorbs diff. inks differently...

    ... talk to your paper provider and your pressmen if you want your color right...

    ... all I said above is that there are multiple factors in getting color right...

    ... on-screen values don't really mean anything to the designer... but more-so to the pre-production press folx who need to calculate all that stuff to output the product you're looking for..

    ... to get your color right... let your printer manage the values... you just need to find examples and be verbally/visually clear what you're looking for w/your pressmen/printer... cuz that's where it counts... not on screen.

    on-screen pantone values don't really provide anything but a label and quick visual representation to designers...

    ... it's the pressmen/prepress folx who should be getting your color right in the end... or at least guiding your in setting things up correctly digitally.
