Great article Pat. Why is Color management blank? And would you say that Pitstop and ReadyPDF are fully overlapping products? Again, love the focus in this space, please keep it up!

Ah, missed the Spot Nordic. Is that all you need in your opinion?

HI Cory! The Spot Matching System from Spot Nordic is a new generation of color matching and management. I like what it offers, but products from ColorGate, GMG, Xrite, Datacolor, CGS Oris - these are all fine products and worthy of investigation if you don't have color management today. Each has strengths and each has different paths to integration into an automated workflow. Sounds like we need a deep dive into color management!
