I need to color match the phenoms and was told to use the trumatch palette.
Okay but man thats 48 pages of colors to print and press. !!!
Is there a quick way to get colors w/o picking indivual ones from each color/shade/tint ?

And if I press to the polyester fabric I bought at Joanns will that be a true or close representative of what the colors would look like on the Vapor apparels since both are polester tho the VA are treated with moisture mgmt ? Or do I need to press to the actual VA's ?

Thanks
Mark

I'm afraid that it's the only realistic way of getting a true match. Make sure that your process is reproducible, if you can't print the same colour twice i.e. due to temperature variation, then you're stuffed.

afraid of that.
what about using joanns poly vs the vapor. ?
Is polyester polyester or would it matter a lot ?

Thanks

Not sure about polyester grades.
It shouldn't make too much difference if it's pure, but there are many mixed fibres out there.

The VA fabric (swatch)from Conde is a good deal I had to do that with some Basic Polo a few weeks ago so a customer could see the colors. Better than burning up a shirt.

Yea I have some of them. But what I pay for them I can get a yard or more at JoAnns and print at full size to see how it looks.

Not only that, but, you also print the swatch on YOUR printer under YOUR shop's conditions, not that of another. I think you will find your colors to be far more accurate this way.
