Roland, I think it's just the way the thread color is represented in the software. Those may be good colors after all. Sorry to fill up this mailbox.

It's not perfect, to say the least. I was getting much closer with Madeira Poly.

Irish III Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 3:14 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Thread Conversion I have Pantone 287 (a dark blue- Madeira 1842) Pantone 659 (lighter shade of blue-no Madeira comes up) Pantone 179 (red-Madeira 1779) and pantone 143 (yellowgold- no madeira again!). Need to have the Melco ARC numbers so I can forward this logo to a couple other Amaya users that need it and we all have to match the thread colors. I've tried comparing my melco thread charts to the actual printouts I did with digital printer, but using 2 different printer drives I get 2 totally different color guides! And without a $99 pantone color book-I can't compare to that either! We all have to 'meet the specs' to get the orders.
