Pantone 2.0: After 45 Years, the Sequel to PMS
On September 5, 2007, Pantone announced an entirely new spot-color-matching system, complete with new swatch books and a new numbering system. The company was quick to say that it is not replacing the current PMS products, but one look at the new Pantone Goe cube (available October 1) and you just know it will render the current system obsolete in a relatively short time. Once everyone gets over the number changes, the new system is a clear improvement. Plus, that cube (Figure 1) will look terrific in the photos of hot design studios featured in Communication Arts magazine.

Funny, somebody emailed me this Poll Result this morning:

Print Supplier Quick Poll

b) Somewhat interested    23%    

c) Not interested    54%

I'll have to get the link to the original article, not sure if that was for printers or agency folks.
