So I'm trying to find a scale to buy that will accommodate my needs in the future. I could get by with one that maxes out at 2000 grams but I know in a few months I'm going to need to be mixing close to gallon sizes (~6000 grams with the inks we're using, Wilflex Epic PF to be exact). I need to be precise with these colors so I need it to be able to measure to the hundredths of a gram or 0.01g. I'm having trouble finding one that will measure that much precisely, is there anyone that knows of one that is less $1000? I've looked at the Acculab ones but they don't have any that fit the requirements, they only measure down to the tenths of a gram. Thanks guys!

Are you sure you need a measurement that precise when mixing gallon quantities? Pints maybe, but gallons?

I would like to know of a program too. I would like to get the pantone numbers for colors I already have and use them to make "new" colors. Is there a program that accomidates this too?

A Pantone Formula Guide will tell you both what colors you have now and the mix instructions to reproduce that color. They run about $80.
