The accuracy of colour is critical in design. Because what you see on your monitor is never what will appear on a printed sheet, designers need a standardized colour key.
The best way is to use a standardized colour matching system, such as the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM.
Though PANTONE is not the only colour standardization system, it is the most widely used and the one that most printers understand. Apart from ensuring consistency, PANTONE colours allow you to use colours that cannot be mixed in CMYK.
The PANTONE colour matching system is available world-wide and is used as the basis for a variety of special colours. The basis of this system is the 14 basic PANTONE colours, plus a transparent white. Approximately 160 mixing formulas are generated and produced as solids. Each of these formulas was on the one hand brightened using three different quantities of transparent white and on the other hand greyed with black.
Micro Inks is liscenced to produce PANTONE inks and bases. We use strict quality controls to ensure a high degree of colour consistency.
Our ATM’s (Any Time Matching) use the PANTONE concept to produce inks to global specifications. |
