No. We recommend that you convert your pantone colors into the nearest CMYK equivalent. However, we can print spot colors on your cards but it is expensive because you do not share the cost of this special color with the other customers on the flat.

No. In fact, we ask you to supply Pantone color numbers on every custom-printed order. If a color swatch is supplied and the corresponding Pantone number is not indicated on your order, we will select the closest Pantone equivalent. The Pantone number gives us a definite target to hit on new and repeat orders. We will make every effort to closely match the chosen Pantone colors.

Pantone colors are used by professional print shops around the world. They are universal colors that help designers, print shops and customers talk in one language.

Yes. Although Pantone colors were created for paper prints we are very good at matching on most fabric colors.

All colors will be matched as closely as possible. Due to the number of possible PMS colors available, a perfect match cannot be achieved in all circumstances. We will be happy to work with you to match whatever color you require.

Pantone colors are a type of Spot colors developed by Pantone Inc. Spot colors are premixed inks, like premixed paints at a paint shop. They are not blended combinations of other colors like Process colors.

No. We recommend that you convert your pantone colours into the nearest CMYK equivalent. However, we can print spot colours on your cards but it is expensive because you do not share the cost of this special colour with the other customers on the flat.

No. But be advised that we cannot guarantee an exact color matching due to the differences between Pantone paper and the various paper stocks we use for printing matches, napkins, tissue packs, placemats, coasters, and other products.

For garments that are screen-printed, we can print up to 10 colors, and up to 15 colors can be stitched to embroidered garments.

Pantone Matching Systems, often referred to as PMS, are the most widely used color matching systems in the printing industry. A true PMS color is defined by a mixture of inks that will provide a specific color (e.g. PMS 185 is a very common bright red color). Pantone also provides a matching system that allows process printers (using only CMYK inks) to closely, but not exactly, match any of the PMS standard ink colors.

No, unless you can match Pantone colors to printable CMYK colors. Focoltone ICCS is designed to enable printers to approach offset press quality. It therefore functions within the CMYK color space that such presses typically use. If a Pantone color falls within that color space, a Focoltone ICCS-calibrated printer could produce a pleasing color match. There are a few things to consider though.

A SPi can match specific Pantone colors on most of our products. In the case of Cloisonn? pins, we use a process called New Cloisonne.

Yes. Most thermal printers have only one “printing head”. If a color imprint is needed, the black ribbon can be removed and replaced by a color ribbon. If barcodes are being printed on the labels, a black ribbon (or dark color) should be used to insure that the barcode will be readable. A limited variety of colored ribbons are available for most thermal printers.
