Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

I mix everything by eye. havn't used a formula in 10 years other than water base inks. 30 years of color matching,  but honestly i cant see using process colors to match and gettin good printing results other than whies, but even then they are too translucent for me. as already mentioned.

Aren't Process inks a little cost prohibitive for day to day color mixing?

Not according to my Rutland pricing but I still wouldn't recommend it.

I dont know how color mixing systems break down in cost but they reps make it sound like they are cheaper than RFU inks generally. Wilflex 4pc inks are pricey as hell over $100 I believe.
