Why don't the colours match?

Different material equals different colour
The same ink colours will look different when printed on different materials. This effect is most noticeable when the same colour is seen on Glossy materials such as vinyl and matt materials such as polyester. The colour on vinyl looks much clear. Try it yourself by printing same image on a photo paper and normal paper. The same image on different materials will not match.

The colours seen on your screen can be seen different on other screens
Colours vary widely from monitor to monitor. That means, the colour you pick from a graphic program might be seen different on other monitors.

There are a host of reasons. Different brightness or contrast settings. How old your monitor is and who made it. Different software colour-matching (Windows has some colour matching built in). Even the same file viewed in different applications will probably look different.

Solution to this problem
If you are creating images on your computer, don't expect a colour from what you are just seeing from your screen will be printed same due to above reasons.

In order to have the same colour

1. Choose the colour from Panton Colour Chart, and then using that PMS number from Panton Colour Chart pick the same number from your graphic program. (percentage of PMS colours should be avoided)
2. Please provide a printed sample as well as PMS numbers. Colour laser, desktop printouts are not considered acceptable for colour match. If you must provide this type of sample, please use "photo quality paper".

(NOTE: Files without a colour match will be adjusted for pleasing colour)
