Professional Color Matching Services for Printing & Packaging
At Magnum Inks & Coatings, color is more than ink; it’s a critical part of your brand identity. Our expert color matching services ensure that every print job reflects your unique color specifications with pinpoint accuracy, consistency, and reliability across every production run. Whether you need to match exact Pantone (PMS) shades or custom branded colors, our team and advanced laboratory capabilities are here to deliver exceptional results for a wide range of printing markets.
What Is Color Matching?
Color matching in the printing and packaging industry is the precise process of reproducing a customer’s desired color so that the final printed output matches expectations, from the initial design to the finished product. This involves accurately interpreting colors specified through systems like the Pantone Matching System (PMS) or custom color profiles and ensuring they translate into consistent ink formulations that deliver visually accurate results every time.
Accurate color matching is essential because different devices (monitors, printers, presses) and materials (paper stocks, coatings) can display and reproduce colors differently. Without professional color matching, variations in hue, brightness, and saturation can lead to inconsistent print quality and misrepresent your brand.
Why Magnum Inks & Coatings Color Matching Matters
At Magnum, we don’t just mix colors; we engineer them. Our color matching service is rooted in quantitative methods that measure and control color values to ensure precision and repeatability. Every batch we produce goes through strict standard operating procedures, quantitative color management tools, and statistical process controls to maintain consistency across every order.
Quantitative Precision
We leverage advanced tools to analyze and match colors based on exact scientific measurements, not guesswork. This approach helps eliminate guesswork and delivers consistent results, even for challenging or proprietary color specifications.
Brand-Driven Accuracy
Iconic brands demand consistency in every print application. Whether you need to match a specific brand color, a stringent PMS standard, or a custom shade developed exclusively for your business, our color experts ensure the final color aligns with your expectations across all substrates and products.
Consistency Across Production
Once a color formula has been developed, we adhere to trusted quality controls to ensure that every batch meets your exact standards. This eliminates surprises at press time and supports dependable color reproduction throughout your project lifecycle.
