I knew this was going to be a challenge. Thank you for your
responses…you've given me some great ideas and a lot to think about. I will
have to discuss the level of precision required for this project with the
Engineering Manager to pick a reasonable pathway ahead.
I think they may only need a small number of printouts, and there are
probably about 20 different heat treated metallic samples with different
colors. Running Metallic Pantone Colors on a press would be prohibitively
expensive, especially for such a small run.
Perhaps buying the Pantone Plus Premium Metallics swatch book and making a
visual match will be close enough for their use. At least the surfaces are
NOT polished glossy surfaces, which would make it even more difficult. I
may experiment printing onto Metallic Papers with my Epson 3880 and see how
close I can get. Not very scientific, I know, and I do understand that the
color temp, CRI and angle of the viewing light will play a huge role.
If I can't find a cost-effective solution that comes close enough for the
customer, I will probably suggest that they generate "real" samples and
send them out to their customers.
Appreciate it.
Lou Dina
