yeah, but i might be able to get by cross-referencing them as pantone coated. all depends on what the chinese factory dudes end up saying they like better. just annoying as hell. pantone should make a cross-referencing app that doesn't rely on their website's clunky interface. i'd pay for that haha!
- is someone going to point out that there is indeed an app for that? i feel like that's what will happenspifflink
- if you have a TPX book that's more important, just call out numbers in your artinkpink
- yeah i do, but my boss wants a digital color story file so he can see them all at once.spifflink

the pantone ones are actually setup as rgb... kinda dumb really.
do you really need to spec TPX? are you having fabrics custom dyed?

maybe it was that then. that doesn't seem to exist either. thanks for pointing that out. ugh. :)

i remember there was a user-made DIY set of swatches on the Adobe share forums... but the official Pantone™ set has always been sold on that CD.

sorry, home and fashion TPX / TPC .ai swatches were never free.

saw that. I don't have coated values, only the tpx numbers, and the link there is to that goofy pantone cd

So I used to do a lot of apparel junk once upon a time and used TPX a bunch in Illustrator CS, but now several years later and several jobs later I need to do some more fabric and color story work, and now they charge for this file?? WTF? Anyone have the TPX file or a handy link to where such a library file would exist?
