Pantone Colors

The Die sublimation Printing process is used on our graphic dry erase boards.  Printing is digital at 720 DPI or more and the process requires that a program like Adobe Illustrator send a image to an inkjet printer program which creates a ripped file of CMYK colors.    The CMYK inkjets use special die sublimation ink (you can't even buy a specific pantone CMYK ink) that  approximates the Pantone color.   This ink put on the paper has a slight variability and when the image is transferred to the die-sublimateable material there is a variation in color due to the heat and time and pressure of the die sub process.   There is also a brightness variation and color variation in the die-sublimateable surfaces before printing.   All in all we can approximate a Pantone or CMYK mix but can never duplicate a lithographic run on plain paper with a specific Pantone ink.    99.99% of jobs we do fully meet customer needs but THERE is VARIABILITY in our process.      We can run as many trials as you like (takes time and adds small costs) till we get close to your ideal, but final colors will vary. If you want perfection we can not promise it and will not do the job.         updated 11/10/07

 

 

OPACACITY - our process is CMYK  when you reduce opacity the printed product does not necessarily match your screen which is RGB.  To get a lighter color it is better to pick a color that is lighter at 100% rather than taking a chance on opacity changes changing color.
