I'm glad I purchased this via Amazon - because directly thru Pantone is expensive. However, this metallic swatch book sure was expensive for the 300 or so swatches. The only thing about this book that annoys me is that it's longer than my other Pantone swatch guide books so it doesn't fit in the Pantone holder with the other guides. I can't zip it up! Warning to those using metallics - the darker the metallic, the less metallic the ink looks.

It is a PANTONE! product so as a designer you HAVE to have it. Also Pantone recommends that every single year you destroy your pantone swatch books and spend another $500 on new ones because they may not be slightly accurate down to the smallest molecule and has nothing to do with profits. But whatever. Don't leave it out in the sun?

Oh yeah...the quality of this product is exactly as advertised.

1.0 out of 5 stars no way to cross reference with CYMK guide colors, March 10, 2011

I need to match metallic colors with 4-color CYMK print colors for consistency with branding and there is no way to do this with the information provided. Each Pantone metallic color references 3 other Pantone formulations and relative percent contribution of each.

Instead of a step forward it was a big step back in terms of being able to communicate a metallic paint and have it color match that on a 4-color press printed piece of collateral or packaging.
