  • pantone to vinyl match help please

    Posted by Lorraine Clinch on 1 December 2008 at 14:26

    I so rarely get asked to match corporate colours, that I don’t have a pantone book, could someone please give me a match for P 666c? Need to order vinyl today! 😮

    Many thanks if you can help

    Hi Lorraine

    Just looked through my swatches, but nothing close.
    Not that its a a help this time but every will match a vinyl to a pantone, but it takes a few weeks, and minimum order is one roll.

    Its a pale lilac colour r160 g146 b180 to give you a clue if you dont have a sample

    Sorry Lorraine. Can’t help. 🙁

    I think you’re going to struggle with that one.

    Or, if you’re going to print it, 37C 42M 2Y 5K

    OK everyone, thanks for info & for looking though. Just quickly, did anyone check against Metamark swatches by any chance? Too late to phone them now,

    Cheers again

    Lorraine,
    Rather late reply, however I’ve just looked in a Metamark swatch book and there’s nothing near it, I’m afraid.

    Hi

    Avery 500-600-700 have lilac and lavender but your colour seems to sit between the two I’m afraid.

    There used to be a vinyl product which tinted other vinyls (for shadow effect) that I have overlayed in the past to get a closer approximation to various pantones but I cannot remember where it came from and don’t know if it still is available.

    Avery and Oracal, other major brands too, will colour matce a small batch of 250 metres by 12.30 wide. takes 10-14 days for the 5 logs to arrive and only comes in an 8-10 year cast.
    Its not a cheap way of doing it but if the customer is stipulating pantone matches then he must expect to pay the extra…

    as has been said, you could always print it if it is only a small amount, but its never 100% consistant over time.

    Thank you everyone for trying, I’m going to have to get back to him in the morning, I may well have to get the job printed, was just trying to keep a bit of profit in there for me, as I have cut the price down anyway 😥 I haven’t actually seen the colour properly, so don’t know if I could get away with something else!

    Thanks again,
    Lorraine.

    Off home now, it’s been a long day!
