Pantone Book

quote Ken [at:

K2″]like to sell for a few quid?

A few quid, I wish. 😉
Ask for pantone numbers to be supplied, don’t get involved in matching as when its wrong they won’t pay, pantone ( contrary to popular belief) is not failsafe and colours do vary from ink manufacturer, or do what every other printer does if its dark blue its the blue in the tin in the corner, fortunately we are NOT one of those printers (!)
we match to pantone but only on customer numbers supplied.
If you’re going to match go for the colour cue camera thing and get ’em to agree it’s correct, even then thining of inks will alter the shade even if opaque and worse on a white substrate , of course I am assuming you’re using pantone for printing, plastics maybe somewhat a different experience.
All the same, the price of this stuff is way, way over the top, considering the market catchment. Maybe a few on eBay but watch out it isn’t too outdated.
