"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
That does sound like a really cool idea!! the only thing it doesn't address is how the color will look on the garment......we have several "swatch" books from the ink manufacture but the actual "printed" ink color is sometimes no where near that.I do really like that though!!!Nick
Did up this for our showroom a while ago during some slow time. Was the stock inks we had on the shelf at the time. QCM XOLB series. Makes it easier to sell a customer on underbases and such,but I'm not doing another one for a long time....what a PITA!
Wilflex did this and put them in a book and sent out to many of the larger companies.We got one and nobody wanted it or saw it's value, so I have it still today. It's got the inks and every special effect ink they do (did at that time). Great for presentations and showing the specialty inks. I was told it's a tedious thing to make.The easier thing for an ink manufacturer to do is to print up little squares like that above, fitting as many as you can of one or a few colors in your print area and mass produce them. You can do a run of 1000 and have someone put them together stapled or glued in a book.Heck someone could make a business out just doing that for ink manufacturers.
