    Maybe this is just marketing, but colors printed on different materials may look slightly different. So their system is promising to calibrate colors between digital and physical mediums. If true, I still wonder who would really need that. (also I don't think you can even use Pantone for a photo, it would need to be digital creations)

      Okay, that makes sense. I've had printers get colors in my photos completely wrong, but printers tend to suck anyway. Especially home ones.

      I'm guessing anyone who would need such accurate color matching would be in some professional printing industry. But still, having to pay a subscription for the privilege is rather cucky.

        Yeah I think actually when I learned about Pantone colors in my graphic design classes and how their little racket works, that may have been when I decided that the whole industry is a scam lol
