Title: Vegas Gold Formula?
Post by: dirkdiggler on January 06, 2013, 01:14:12 PM
Anybody got one, preferably CCI pigments or Sericol?  Tough because there is not a PMS formula for it.  Thanks in advance for you help.

Do you have any sort of pms equivalent reference guides?

There are a lot of colors that different folks all call Vegas Gold. I like 131. some like 465, and if you Google it, you'll find more.

Good time to make your own formula book.

You'll find that more than most water-based colors will require you to mix by eye. Get a paint stripper heat gun and test swatch right there at the ink station before going to press. This allows you to make ink changes on the fly before putting ink in a screen.

You'll find that the same color in WB vs WBDS will result in different shades so test swatch everything before going to press.

Going for Wilflexs epic series Vegas Gold.  NOTHING in the pantone book looks like it.  Guess its gonna be trial and error.  Surely someone has printed New Orlean Saints with waterbase?

Go to the Poly One web site and download the IMS software.  Input the Wilflex name for Vegas Gold and it will give you the formula.
