Pantone GP5101A CMYK Guide Set - 2019 Edition

Excellent product

Satisfactory

No one is listening to my complaint, i am worried day by day . My order has been 20 days but I have not been able to do it properly till now. Everyone says this will happen today.

This set came as described - new and sealed; it arrived very quickly. Just a reminder because it's easy to get lost in all the different pantone offerings - this set in particular does not have any RGB codes in it, just the CMYK.

Mazzette Pantone CMYK per stampanti quindi. Niente da dire

excelente producto, justo como lo esperaba. Una herramienta indispensable para cualquier diseñador.

As a semi-retired graphic artist, I discovered that my 10-year old CMYK guide had been superseded with a new, renumbered and expanded set of colors. (The key giveaway is the old CMYK set had an "S" as the prefix before the color number, and the new guide has a "P" prefix letter.) The new guide has somewhat lighter weight paper than the old guide .... but way more colors listed ... I can understand the need to keep the thickness of the cards from being overwhelming, but I do miss the heavier paper. The "chips" are also somewhat smaller (with 2 samples fitting the same area as a single sample on the old set). This is a minor irritation -- and significantly impacts the print-shop practice of "drilling" a hole through the chips to allow less distracting color evaluation (by looking through the hole). Fortunately, in my design work, I don't need that extra bit of color evaluation help. I also observe that the "pin" that ties the deck of sample cards/sheets together is much looser on the new guide when compared against the "old" guide.Note that these are rather expensive and it's hard to justify the expense for those with light usage needs. The difficulty is that I now work with a publication with a "dispersed" employment, with the editor on the east coast, the publisher in southern California, and the production work being done in the pacific northwest. While the publisher and editor might benefit from having a precise idea of the colors being suggested, it just isn't cost-effective to purchase additional copies of the Pantone guide for those members of the staff.

Not what I expected
