 There are programs published by Pantone to convert RGB to

 My question: other than the Pantone programs, how can one get to
 Hexachrome format without loss of gamut? Obviously Gimp does not
 produce it natively so I am looking for a post-Gimp convertor.


 Take a look at the old manual of gimp:

 Channels and the relation to spot colors may be of help to you...
