You mean all four of the ones up top?

Those were added to be cheeky. You can ignore them.

All the ones that say SEMPLETONE+ are 1:1 and don't need to be maintained.

Okay, so I’m a printer. You specify a free tone which allows me to get the SEMPLETONE+ which allows me to get the PANTONE with a simple database lookup, and I just need to pay PANTONE for calibration essentially.

Is that correct? Where am I off?

More or less, yes.

Or better, I export the file saying PANTONE.

For the printer, nothing changes.

This plugin exists so that designers don't have to pay $21 per month per seat for effectively nothing. It's not an attempt to shun Pantone entirely.
