  • match needed please for Pantone ref 326 & 660?

    Posted by David Rogers on 17 April 2007 at 14:10

    Looking for ‘nearest match’ in vinyl.

    Have Ritrama, Mactac, Hexis, Ultramark, APA swatches.

    Best guess is it’s a turquiose & a med/dark blue.

    Any help appreciated.

    sorry Dave, I didn’t spot this post earlier. the 326 is very close to Oracal 751-054 turquoise ………… not found a match to the blue yet but I’ll keep digging.

    Avery do a pantone 326 vinyl Dave ………… exactly what you’re looking for. although I dunno if they have a minimum order on their pantone vinyls 😕 they have pantone 661 but not 660 ……. 🙁

    P.326 is very close to 176 Aqua Green in Ritrama L100 series.
    Nothing close to the blue in any of my swatches tho.

    Cheers,
    Jamie.

    Thanks guys – but don’t have Avery or Oracal swatches (‘loaned’ to customers…never to be seen again)…and use Ritrama 400 series.

    What about in Mac 9800?

    At a guess, judging from a pdf (on my non-calibrated monitor) I was sent – could it be 9849-17 Petrol & 9839-20 Egyptian?

    Customer is getting a bit ‘arsey’ even though I quoted as ‘nearest match to stock range’ and gave THEM a full swatch to pick from.

    "Not our problem – speak to the designers, they can choose."

    (me) "OK, can you send them the swatches PDQ?"

    "No, phone them – they must know what colour it is"

    (me) "sigh"

    Playing at pass the buck…. 🙄 and it’s meant to be getting fitted Tuesday.

    in mactac 9849-15 is closer to 326, 9839-20 egyptian is not bad ……. not perfect but closer than any other blue I’ve looked at.
