Is it possible to get a correct Pantone color, in Coreldraw, send it to the client as a JPG, and expect it to come across as the right color on his end?

in corel X3 you can select PANTONE COLORS.. to objects...open corel, lower right corner.... you see a paint bucket and a pen...then a X to the right of the paint bucket. click on the X. will open another window..UNIFORM FILL. in it you will find a tab named PALETTES in that you will see PANTONE SOLID COLOR in the selecton bar....lower right you can select PANTONE by number........ NOW........you have the problem of how your printer translates it....me, i alway include the PANTONE # along with an order....this way you both see the proper color.

you can select the proper color on your end but unless the client has a physical pantone chart or colorchip on his end the answer to your question is probably no,....while you do everything perfect on your end,..you have no control over the monitor or printer the client uses to produce or render your jpg,......

Thanks guys, For showing me how to do that. The client approved the color, I painted the panels, and will cut them on the router next week.
