Artwork

For screen printing we use pantone references (usually coated or ‘c’ references – please note that these can be different from the equivalent ‘u’ or uncoated references which are often used when printing on paper) and are only able to print solid colours.  Any tints in a design usually have to be treated as a separate colour.  Full colour digital printing is available on several of our pencils and this uses a digital full colour process which allows the printing of unlimited colours and tints, but means exact pantone matches can’t be guaranteed.

Printed colours will come out differently on different substrates, so a specific blue printed on a pencil may not match the same blue printed on a mug.  This is the case for both solid colour printing and full colour digital printing.  Every care will be taken to achieve the desired effect but if a specific colour match is required we recommend a pre-production proof is ordered (this may incur an extra charge and may add additional production time).
