Awesome! I just acquired a doodad from Pantone last week, the Huey Pro. It also came with a swatch book of the top 100 pantone colors.

Put banana slugs on the grass green tees :)

wow, that looks cool, but what does it do and how does it do it?

i never knew the purpose of pantone colors =\

well, there are spot colors and process colors. spot colors are premixed and process is achieved through, for example, printing offset with CMYK.

pantone comes in by offering spot colors (identified through PMS numbers) & formulas that printers can match quite consistently. so, for my use specifically, the shirts i print all use spot colors and because each monitor displays colors differently, i need this color book to find the correct colors i want for my design... and by offering the printer the PMS number, they can match it precisely.

uh, at least i think that's how it works.
