Note: Nazdar's color mixing ink formulations produce only simulations of PANTONE® Colors in this color reproduction method due to differences in substrate selection, ink film, opacity, pigment selection, print technique, press, squeegee, and mesh. Any formula may need to be adjusted by the user to correct any visual differences to the target. Because PANTONE® is continually adding new Colors to its system, ColorStar may not have formulations for all current PANTONE® Colors.
