FAQ – Frequently asked questions:


1. What are PMS colours?
The Pantone Matching System is a standard colour system for your print. PMS colours are mixed manually. So when a specific colour has been chosen, this colour will definitely be used for the print. This in contrast to the full colour printing technique for which a grid is used.
2. What is full colour?
When applying full colour prints we use 4 main colours; cyan, magenta, yellow and black. By use of tiny grid markers the colours are compiled, as it were, on the paper comparable with picture quality. In full colour-print, virtually any colour can be printed, just like a coloured picture. If we are dealing with a coloured or transparent product, also white must be printed underneath the logo.
3. Is black a colour as well?
Yes, black is a colour as well. Although at school we used to learn it is not, according to the printer it is. For the printer, it is a printing run. It only thinks in terms of printing runs (colours).
4. When placing an order, do I first get a digital sample print?
Yes, we will provide a digital sample print by email, without charge.
