How do I choose a Letterpress colour ink (Pantone Solid Uncoated PMS)?

When you order letterpress printing, you'll notice we ask you for a PMS (colour to be printed).

We use Pantone Solid Uncoated inks for our letterpress printing that are mixed by hand.

Most people don't own a Pantone book (they're a bit $$$!) and it's more of a specialist tool for designers.

It can be tricky therefore to choose a colour you haven't seen!

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing a Pantone colour from Our Paper Colours Values Chart.

We have 100s of suggested Pantone colours that are close matches to our card and paper stocks so if you want any colour other than black, then make it easy and choose from our suggestions for reliable results!
