Create Swatch Info

Create Swatch Info seems to be a great new feature, but limited.

I work in signage printing with HP Large Format Printers. Clients are always asking to match a colour. 
My question is how can I use the "Create Swatch Info" to print a Pantone Colour book?

It has no option to make the book A4 or to fit a certain amount of swatches to a page

There are a lot of limitations with Create Swatch Info.

Fitting swatches on a page is one of them.

Unforunately Spot colors are converted to their CMYK equivalents.

But even if they would be spots, there is a limit to 27 spot colors in a document.

Hello Ton, Having 27 spot colours is no problem. As for printing as CMYK that is also not a problem as Digital Printers only Print CMYK, LC, LM.

But the CMYK version created by the Create Swatch Info has already thrown away all the advantages of printing to a printer that ha more than 4 colors.
