Pantone Colours and Colour Matching

When Pantone colours are changed to CMYK, the result may not always be as intended due to the various factors involved, such as printing methods, substrate qualities and lighting.

If would like to match a specific colour, we ask that you request a small test print on the desired material. This could contain either a small version of the entire artwork, or a collection of different colour values/Pantone colours. This would then enable you to check the colours so you can make a decision on the result first.

Notes

Artwork not supplied to our requirements will likely render an unsatisfactory result or delay to your order. If you are unsure about the artwork you have, please check with us beforehand to ensure there are no complications with your order.

Please note that we cannot be held responsible for issues contained in the supplied artwork itself such as spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, RGB colour mode, overprint, resolution, missing fonts, missing images and layers set to non-printing. To avoid these issues, please ensure your artwork adheres to our requirements. Please be aware that if your artwork fails to meet our requirements it may delay your order.

If your artwork cannot be used to produce what you have ordered, we will contact you and ask how you would like to proceed.

If the artwork size is different to that of the size ordered, the ordered size will always take precedence. 

If we feel there is a potential problem with the quality of the images in your artwork, we will contact you if they are extremely low to ask how you would like us to proceed. Please note, we cannot be held responsible if the artwork is supplied in such a manner that it isn’t suitable for your needs.
