Title: Where can I buy PMS matched inks
Post by: shellyky on October 24, 2013, 04:40:24 PM: poconoscreen says they'll do it for $129 a gallon... anyone else? I need PMS 124...its a dirty yellow...almost looks like triangle ink OLD GOLD with a touch of yellow but ive been told im color blind lol

before i get "why dont you mix it yourself with your pantone book" ?
-Because i dont have a pantone book, because i dont really offer pantone matching services...not worth the time to please an already picky customer....this is a friend so im willing this once.

Blue Yellow colorblindness is generally what effects womnen, but they can be red/green as well.
