How do I contact your sales office?

Can you explain CMYK printing vs. PMS Colors?

All of our printers print in CMYK. Pantone spot colors (PMS) are solid inks that are assigned numbers that look the same no matter who prints them. CMYK colors are created using a mix of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black inks. Since there are variations between presses, press operators, materials and other factors, CMYK colors are not guaranteed to perfectly reproduce between printers or even print jobs.
