If anyone's interested in a XTension (Mac QuarkXPress 6.5) I knocked up in a bored moment that imports Photoshop color books as spot colors, drop me a line.

Edit: I neglected to say that I can produce PS color books from ICC named color profiles and InDesign swatches. I can even create ICC named color profiles too using measuring instruments.

/me pimps his stuff http://homepage.mac.com/only_mortal/scr ... raSpot.jpg

It's an app I've been working on... some of you will know who for, I guess.

It's because clients measure custom colors which they want to produce exactly and not via Pantone colors.

Yeah they are. You have seen their packaging... Quorn and various soap powders come to mind.
