Will the colours match my brand?
Very closely, never identically. We can simulate a Pantone or RAL reference, but no print reproduces it exactly: every printer has its own range of colours, and fabric is not paper. Our presses are calibrated and checked constantly; customers are often surprised by the result.
Every device shows a different slice of the colours that exist — your screen, your printer, our press. None of them shows them all, and no two slices are identical. That is why a Pantone swatch printed in CMYK is close to the real ink but not the same, as Pantone's own swatch books show.
What we do with your file
| A CMYK file | we remap your colours into our press's colour space, so that every colour lands in the same relative place. Give us the CMYK values you want, and the decision stays yours. |
|---|---|
| An RGB file | we convert it. Some very bright RGB colours have no equivalent in print and come out a little duller. |
| A Pantone or RAL reference | we look up its published values and print the closest colour our press can make. Expect a very close match, not an identical one. |
Why the result is good
We print by sublimation: the ink turns into gas under heat and is absorbed into the polyester fibre itself, which is why the colours are bright and do not sit on the surface. Our printing systems are calibrated, certified and checked constantly. Read what customers say about the colours on the Reviews page.
