 Re: colour mixing
Hello, the screenprinting industry has adopted a color matching system from house paints called pantone . you need to get you a pantone color chart, most suppliers of graphic materials will have one. or you can get one from home depot. It will have 16 or so base colors you mix to get the color you want, and will also give a % of each color to get the desired color you want. for instance if you want pantone #236 each color has ots own #. you would go to #236 and it might say you need 25% blue 25%yellow 25%green 25%orange =100% the trick is to go to the front of the pantone chart and match the base colors with colors you have in you shop and use those and the percentages to mix it will get you very close or at least in the ballpark if you need exact color matching you will need a color matching system but those are very exspensive. wilflex has the best for the money. the pantone chart also has the same color listed twice one will have a C beside the# and one will have a U beside the # the c stands for coated but to you that means glossy, and the u stands for uncoated, which means flat. remember this is a house paint color chart, but every screenprinting shop uses this chart. if you are using plastisol inks your mix will always be gloosy. hope this helps. |
