Xrite to buy Pantone
Printing News - 2007-08-24 - X-Rite to Acquire Pantone, Inc. Extending Reach in the Color Industry


I'm not sure what to think on this one. With Xrite having acquired Gretag and now this, seems their cornering the market on color.

Cool This should work well!
For years PANTONE has been selling descriptions of color and making a killing. Now with some science behind them and some measurement devices, maybe the standards will solidify.

Here's a link from Print21 an Australian Magazine...

http://www.print21online.com/index.cfm?art=3591&comid=1

I noticed in this article they mentioned a new colour system Pantone Goe. Anyone heard anymore on that as yet? Wonder how that will affect the industry...

Cheers, Tony
