		anikom15 on Oct 30, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Freetone – Pantone-ish colour palette for Adobe pr... Okay, so I’m a printer. You specify a free tone which allows me to get the SEMPLETONE+ which allows me to get the PANTONE with a simple database lookup, and I just need to pay PANTONE for calibration essentially. Is that correct? Where am I off?

More or less, yes.

Or better, I export the file saying PANTONE.

For the printer, nothing changes.

This plugin exists so that designers don't have to pay $21 per month per seat for effectively nothing. It's not an attempt to shun Pantone entirely.
