Using PMS inks is called spot color printing. The specified ink is then prepared using the correct mixture of base colors, either purchased pre-mixed from an ink company or mixed on-site at the printing company. These numbers are used to identify the exact color needed. Each color has a 'PMS' number assigned to it. Creating a Pantone spot color is similar to mixing paint such as blue and yellow to get green, but with much more precision. By standardizing the colors, manufacturers and customers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match. Every computer monitor is different, every printer is different.
It takes all the guesswork out of color identification. Color is very subjective, which is why the PMS works so well. Similar to the paint swatch guides you find at your favorite paint store, the pantone color chart contains thousands of color swatches created from a palette of basic colors. PMS stands for Pantone Matching System, and is a standardized color reproduction system.
If your envelope needs color accuracy then please request for a custom quote or give us a call and explain us what you are looking for. So try to avoid heavy ink coverage on the seams. Now due to this varying thickness, the press cannot lay down the ink evenly, and hence the place where there are 3 layers will be more darker then then the place where there are 2 and hence the discoloration. on the seams there are 3 layers of paper and then it becomes 2 layers. Avoid Heavy Ink Coverage on the Seams: If you inspect any envelope closely you will notice that at various position of the envelopes there are multiple layers of paper. To be able to print full bleed we have to print on bigger sheets of paper and then cut down to the size.ģ. Printing to the Edge of the Envelope or Full Bleed: Since we are printing on finished envelope, there is a margin all around which cannot be printed, very similar to your home printer. Now our press operators are good and usually can do a fantastic job, but due to this limitation we cannot guarantee color match with other printed stationary product like company letterheads, business cards or even previously printed samples.Ģ. Now since we are printing on a finished envelope, we do not have any space to print the color bar, and hence the ink adjustment has to be eye balled by our press operators. For matching colors we need to be able to print a color control bar on the printed piece and then it is scanned by a spectrophotometer which checks for the color density and automatically controls the inking system on the press. Color Matching: It is very hard or sometimes impossible to match colors. This allows us to offer the lowest prices but does have some limitation when printing in full color.
