PMS Color Match (Per Color & Per Material)

PMS Color Match (Per Color & Per Material)

$39.99

Our printing process utilizes CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black) inks. While CMYK offers a broad color gamut, achieving exact matches to Pantone Matching System® (PMS) colors can be challenging. This service is highly recommended for projects where color accuracy is critical and specific PMS colors have been referenced. 

Important Note: We do not print using actual Pantone spot colors. Instead, our expert technicians meticulously simulate your specified PMS colors as closely as possible using CMYK. This involves careful color profiling and adjustment.

Important Information and Helpful Tips:

  1. File Requirements: Please provide an editable/layered file in one of the following formats: .PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or Adobe Photoshop. This allows for necessary color adjustments.
  2. Turnaround Time: Please be aware that the color-matching process will add 1-2 business days to your production turnaround time.
  3. Pantone Color Selection: For optimal results, please only select Pantone colors from the Pantone Color Bridge Coated Book. This book is specifically designed to show CMYK equivalents.
  4. CMYK Reference: To preview the potential CMYK conversion of your chosen PMS color, you can reference the "CP" (Process Coated) swatch in the Pantone Color Bridge Coated color book (e.g., 192 CP). Please note that this is just a reference, and our technicians will optimize the conversion for the specific material.

This service aims to provide the best possible CMYK simulation of your desired PMS colors. By understanding the process and providing the necessary information, you can help us achieve outstanding results for your color-critical project.
