Do they have in the US the pantone charts that are in European system (solid to process)? Im not very keen on eyeballing the colours using my pantone chart and the usual solid to process in Illustrator colour palettes nor buying the chart that is meant for aborigens.

They are universal I think (pursposely for the international reason).

On-screen is different than what is printed (especially with paper) so it's best to buy the color chips (though $$). They also have CMYK matching chips too.

I have the "chips" or charts but the flabellum/chart/chips is in European (solid to process) but if I dare to look at illustrators colour palettes there are all the different ones. Slight screenshot of what I mean:

I have Euro on my Illustrator...I am sure they'd have the charts too because I know some companies outsource printing overseas.

I have the flabellum in Euro system (solid to process obviously) and Im a bit afraid - the "thing" is going to be printed in the US and A and im suspecting that tey are using the "usual" solid to process system or whatever.

do you have printers with US color chips there? Go to one and act like you are going to get something specked out and then check out their chipset and get a quote for giggles.

I did a design with a pantone on screen eyeballing and when I went to the printers to show the color chip (his chipset) to him and it was so off I had to pick a different one.
