Pantone  -  A Pantone Colour Set for DTP


This application contains a set of Pantone colours for use with ArtWorks and Impression Publisher Plus.

Running the application will open a Filer window containing two files: a text file containing the colour definitions, and an ArtWorks file with the colours already in place. Either file can be loaded directly into ArtWorks, and the colours can also be incorporated into Publisher Plus by importing the ArtWorks file and following the method outlined in this issue of the magazine.

The official Pantone system is designed to ensure that commercial printing companies can be certain that a chosen colour is always faithfully reproduced. The colours provided on this disc are not endorsed by Pantone, but the results of using them should give the same effect as using an Apple Macintosh or other system which has the colours officially built in.

It is of course impossible to have an official Pantone-approved setup unless you have a closed loop system where the colorimetry of your monitor and/or your graphics card can be accurately aligned to give the necessary colour temperature responses. RISC OS does have most of the features available to do the necessary calibration in software, but the algorithms to complete the loop and match Pantone standards are not available.
