What do I need to know about colour?| Information | | | | 
We recommend the use of Pantone® Colour swatches rather than relying on screen colours.
If you do use screen colours as a guide, ensure that your monitor is correctly calibrated.
There are a large number of variables which can affect the colour produced in Full Colour Printing. Simply looking at the appearance of colours on a monitor - especially if no monitor calibration has been carried out - is unlikely to produce predictable printed results.
In just the same way an un-calibrated desktop printer, such as a laser or inkjet may well produce very different colours to those produced on a professional printing press.
It is much better to choose and use colours from printed swatches since these give an accurate representation of what the finished result will be.
Pantone® Limited are a company which is respected throughout the print industry for the quality and consistency of their colour matching products. We are pleased to stock several different Pantone® Colour matching books for different requirements.
LUCID A1 Pantone Swatch Sheets
For Full Colour printing at LUCID PRINTING & DESIGN we would strongly recommend our A1 Printed Colour Swatch Sheets which are printed on the same presses as we use to print our Full Colour Printing. They give a very accurate impression of how colours will print on your finished job. .jpg "full colour printing")
The sheets have swatches of more than 1000 Pantone colours and their CMYK constituent percentages. We have two sheets available, one printed on Gloss Art material and the other on 100gm letterhead stock.
NB: The LUCID A1 Printed Colour Swatch Sheets are intended to be used for Full Colour Printing only. For Spot Colour printing we recommend the Pantone® Colour Formula Guide.
 Alternatively send us a chip of the Spot Colour(s) required and we will try to match it as closely as possible and advise you of the Pantone® colour(s) used.
We aim to produce consistent colour, however, the large range of variables associated with Full Colour Printing means we are unable to guarantee absolute accuracy of Colour Match.
