Help for colour match in vinyl for pantone 271c???

Posted by Matthew Chittenden on 17 January 2011 at 13:04

Hi there,
Just taken on a job which requires a vinyl colour match to pantone ref 271c. I know the vinyl is out there because the original boards are done in what feels and looks like a 7 year vinyl. Just cant find the right supplier for it.
Tried : Metamark, Spandex, the Vinyl Corporation and Hexis.
Any help anyone can give would be awesome.

Thanks
Matt

Could possibly have been colour matched. Avery will colour match to a Pantone swatch,
depending on the amount you need.

Hi Jamie edit: oops, sorry Mathew)

We have many vinyl swatches collected over the years and I can’t find a match I’m afraid (not to say there isn’t one that we don’t have somewhere).

Seems an easy colour to match by printing though, our pantone to print via mimaki swatch gives pantone 2645 as near as dammit colour (271 a little dark) and it’s also matched perfect it seems on one of our r.g.b. via mimaki swatches. Of course each printer will print different colours dependant on profiles used and other factors (e.g. we use mactac profiles on 3M material, gives much better colours than 3M-3M or Mactac-Mactac) but at least it seems the colour is not one of those nasty ones to emulate.

Good luck

HI

You could get a screen printer to flood coat a good white vinyl.

Matching pantone colours in screen printing ink will only cost £30 a half litre + the cost of screen printing it.

We have only done this where a few meter’s are required, never had a problem, we did also laminate the vinyl to stop it from scratching..
