IMHO: first of all, don't believe the screen. You are in an entirely different color space. Second, don't believe the process color mixes to get a PMS color (almost every app that purports to do pantone w/process uses a *different* mix…believing, apparently, that calling a sheep's tail a leg is good enough for most people). The differnece listed of 4% is awfull small and well within the range of normal dot gain/loss during imagesetting, plating, and printing. In either case, whether the numbers you have are good or whether they are not, if you really want Rubine red you should buy a can of rubine red ink and use it. (and even there, one ink maker's version will differ slightly from anothers). The process approximations are only that: *approximations*. Some of them are way, way off…and that *is* as good as they can do. Reproducing PMS colors with process colors as another one of the "lies" the dtp vendors have been telling us for years <g> As a sidebar, did you know that there are different types of process inks, magenta for instance, and they work a little differently even in notmal process work? So. imagine
