QP5.
What is Pantone?
Pantone Matching Systems, often referred to as PMS, are the most widely used color
matching systems in the printing industry. A true PMS color is defined by a mixture of
inks that will provide a specific color (e.g. PMS 185 is a very common bright red color).
Pantone also provides a matching system that allows process printers (using only CMYK
inks) to closely, but not exactly, match any of the PMS standard ink colors.
QP6. How
can you match the colors on the screen with the colors I want for printing my
Stationery?
We match the colors you see on the screen with the Pantone colors we have specified in a
Pantone Chart Selector . We then send you the color codes for each color e.g. Pantone
493U. Write down these codes and visit any Printshop. Ask them to show you a Pantone Chart
Selector and you will be able to select your preferred colors or see our suggestions.
