Where can I buy PMS matched inks
« on: October 24, 2013, 04:40:24 PM »
poconoscreen says they'll do it for $129 a gallon... anyone else?  I need PMS 124...its a dirty yellow...almost looks like triangle ink OLD GOLD with a touch of yellow but ive been told im color blind lol

before i get "why dont you mix it yourself with your pantone book"  ?
-Because i dont have a pantone book, because i dont really offer pantone matching services...not worth the time to please an already picky customer....this is a friend so im willing this once.

I've always been under the impression that only men can be color blind?

It is more common for men to be colorblind, but women can be too.  it's usually a different type of colorblindness.  the most common for men is red/green, which I am.  Blue Yellow colorblindness is generally what effects womnen, but they can be red/green as well.
