Can you match pantone colours / my screen / something else?

We use state-of-the-art digital presses that are calibrated daily to ensure excellent colour consistency. However, there are physical limits to matching colours exactly:

• Pantone Colours: We print in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). We do not use specific “Pantone” spot inks. While our machines are very good at simulating Pantones using CMYK, we cannot guarantee an exact match.

• Screens vs. Print: Your monitor or phone screen creates colour using light (RGB), which is vibrant and glowing. Paper creates colour using ink/toner (CMYK), which relies on reflected light. Because of this, a printed image will never look exactly the same as it does on a glowing screen.

• Metallic Colours (Gold/Silver): Please note that we do not print with metallic foils. Colours that look like bright, shiny gold or silver on your screen will print as “flat” non-reflective shades (usually a matt yellow/brown or grey).

Our Advice: For general printing, our colours are vibrant and accurate. However, if you have a job that is particularly colour-sensitive (e.g., specific brand guidelines), please email us first so we can check your file or arrange a printed proof.
