PMS; The colors of one, two and three color printing.
PMS stands for Pantone Matching System, a system used by printers around the world to select, specify, match and control ink colors.
The Pantone Matching system formula guide is a book of printing ink formulas and samples on coated, uncoated and matte coated stock in a fan format. The PMS book is what we use when helping you select color for your project.
Whereas cyan,magenta and yellow are combined in various percentages to produce a specific dolor a PMS or spot color ink is one single hue. In addition, the inks used for spot color are opaque rather than translucent and so do not allow white light to pass through.
