We can quickly colour match the ink to whatever you want it to match to, whether that is a physical sample or a system reference code (such as a Pantone or RAL number).
Colour matching is ultimately all about individual visual perception, so all our colour matching is completed and confirmed by the art of the human eye.
This means that special effect inks such as pearlescents, metallics and fluorescents can all be colour matched.
