Default Re: how do you guys color match ink ?

Union Ink has two Pantone Matching Systems, one for regular ink (Unimatch), and one for Maxopake. I've got the Maxopake. You can download the mixing software to your pc and plug in how much ink you want to mix, and it'll give you the formula in ounces or grams. You can print them out as labels and put them on your container, also. Color match is pretty good. Personally, I now wish I'd bought the Unimatch inks because I underbase everything on darks, so I usually have to either base down or reduce my Maxopake mixes to get them a little thinner.
