Selecting The Right Color Is One
Of The Keys To Successful Printing



The print industry standard is the PMS (Pantone Matching System®). The Pantone Matching System is an international publishing and packaging color language that provides an accurate rate method for the selection, communication, reproduction, matching and control of color.


Spot Color Jobs

When you are designing or creating your next print project, please select PMS for your spot color jobs. Not all applications support Pantone® colors, see software issues for recommended layout applications. If we are designing the job for you, please feel free to ask your customer representative to refer to a swatch book.


Full Color Jobs

Full color or 4-color process jobs use four inks to create the entire spectrum of colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. All images and graphics should.


Avoid using RGB colors

RGB refers to the so-called scientific hues – the additive primary colors red, green and blue – that, when mixed together in equal amounts, create white light. Television sets and computer monitors display their pixels based on values of red, green, and blue.

NOTE: Due to RGB values converting to CMYK values colors your graphics or images may produce undesired results
