Pantone, Forcing people to register a swatch book and download /install software to get access to legacy color palettes is extremely intrusive and annoying. Why the hell do I need to restart my Mac just to install a color swatch program? What kind of intrusive crap are you installing in the background? Why not focus on improving the quality and consistency of your swatch books rather than angering and alienating your customers?

Out of Print since the early 1980's. Designers of that era used them for perfect color matching with Pantone's color matching system, as known as PMS. Windows7,Windows XP,Vista,Nod32,Internet Download Manager,Kaspersky Serial keys, product key. Pantone Color Manager Serial Number. Similar Topics. Serial Search Tips When searching for Pantone Color Manager Activation do not include words such as serial, number, key, license, code, etc. Excluding words such as these will result in much more accurate results.

Also, for a designer focused company your website is hard to navigate and poorly designed. Very annoyed, Chevalier.

It is easy to complain about Pantone - but. 'Forcing people to register a swatch book and download /install software to get access to legacy color palettes is extremely intrusive and annoying.' -- yes, but they developed it and are no charging you for it, and they need to make it compatible with many applications and many versions, yes? -- if you don't want it, or don't need it, don't bother. 'Why not focus on improving the quality and consistency of your swatch books rather than angering and alienating your customers?'

-- not sure if you fully grasp the challenges of printing such a book. Lets start with the fact that the paper companies can't make a decent sheet. Now, we have all these brighteners. I agree that their site could be easier to navigate. Re:1 Yes, they are charging me for it. It's built in the costs bundled into the swatch book.

Oligarchy armor games. When you rework your color system (defacto THE color system) that has existed since the 1960's you should at least be prepared to support the legacy system and make the transition as simple and painless as possible. I need it to do my job as Adobe (and Pantone) has not made it easy to work with many legacy InDesign and Illustrator files that use the old/new swatch books. Re:2 I've seen the videos and read the literature of exactly how the swatch books are produced. I've seen variance between the same printing of the same book wider than many of my customers spec for their production work. I've never seen a video or heard of Pantone bragging about their QA processes and procedures though.

@ chevalier re:1 That is an interesting 'idea' - but it is not really accurate - Pantone used to get licencing fees from Adobe / Quark which is how it was 'baked into' the applications. That is no longer the case. The color system changed as the paper and print conditions changed - this is especially true of the Color Bridge product.
