FULL STORY
The preceding article to this is based on the press announcement sent out by VIGC on Thursday 13 September, on the problems with the new Pantone Goe. Now, VIGC would like to provide you with a brief update. Pantone meanwhile has updated the White Paper on its Website – also created on 13 September 2007, as shown by the properties of the PDF file on its Website - after the open letter (see previous article) had been sent to them and had been posted on the GraphicBrain.com Website as well.
Now it (the Pantone White Paper) explicitly states that the RGB values on the colour guides are sRGB, which was not the case in the previous version. VIGC looked up the old version via the html-version of the Google search engine. This 'html' function caches PDF documents that Google encounters on the Internet. VIGC has posted a PDF printout of the old version (without the graphics unfortunately) on its Website at: www.graphicbrain.com/pantonegoe.
Said Eddy Hagen, managing director and trend watcher of VIGC,'We applaud the fast action of Pantone, on the condition that also the colour guides, those patches and the user interface of their software will explicitly mention that the RGB values are sRGB.'
For more information, please contact Eddy Hagen, managing director, VIGC, eddy.hagen@vigc.org or by telephone at: +32 14 40 39 94. Graphic Repro On-line will, however, ensure that all communications on the subject from VIGC appear in the news on our Website as and when issued, in order to keep our own readers completely up-to-date.
