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.

I was approached by Union (I think) to do just that but it is a lot of work and I probably priced it higher than they were looking for.

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!
That's very neat.
