PANTONE® has updated all their guide books to accommodate the European ink set. As well as changing the CMYK ink mix for PANTONE colours, they have changed the stock on which the PANTONE books are printed. A brighter paper is used to reflect the change in standard printing conditions.

'Well, I've already got one... had it years' you may well say. Thats not good enough. PANTONE® guides should be replaced every year, as it\'s a fact that all printed colours change when exposed to light as the pigments fade, paper yellows with age as do the oils in the ink. Discolouring of the colour is both inevitable and significant.

Designed for calibrating and profiling all types of monitors, both LCD and CRT. Each individual package includes a Huey measurement device (emission only colorimeter) with ambient measurement capabilities, and software for monitor calibration. 

Huey corrects the color on your monitor so photos and designs print more accurately, game graphics are more intense and movies are more true to life. Easy to use right out of the box, Huey adapts your monitor for changing room lighting and applies your personal preferences for viewing accurate color all of the time. System Requirements: CRT and LCD Monitors Windows XP, Mac OS X 10.3 or higher USB port

The Pantone Colour Bridge is probably the single most useful Pantone Guide available.

Your screen will never match what you get back from your printer - FACT.

Your home/office print out will never match what you get back from your printer - FACT

The only way to ensure your full colour artwork returns from your printer with any true resemblance to what you expect, the Pantone Bridge Guide is the only thing thats going to help you.

Full colour printing, is all about CMYK - yet when we look on screen, (and often when designing) we see RGB - it's what a monitor displays. But when that file goes off to print, it will be converted to CMYK.

By using the Pantone Colour Bridge, you can pick a colour (or convert a spot colour) to it's nearest resembling match - and giving you the CMYK breakdown - will ensure that when used, where-ever used (be it in a magazine, exhibition graphics, even on the web) that what you design should match throughout all mediums.
