| 135049 | 4461 | Stoker V machine - Fowler or Anderson? | 40 | Bruce Fowler | Aug 2, 2018 | 2018-08-02T15:50:37-0400 | newlyn said: Dingdong, can you elaborate on the color issues? I kinda had my heart set on a resin tint, so perhaps this suggests I should go to Scott? Click to expand... The method we use today is for the customer to provide us with "Pantone" color numbers. The Pantones are coded and extremely specific samples of every color on the color wheel. The customer decides if they want it sprayed as an airbrush, or mixed into resin using tints or pigment. (Note: Coloring with resin tints & pigments is difficult & there are some colors that just can't be done as they can be with paint. You are also prone to showing shaper's marks & foam imperfections when doing resin tints.) Anyway, the method: Haakenson uses a laptop computer he purchased so he can mix the color(s) while looking at a high quality retina screen versus us printing out a color sample on white paper. We found that ink printer cartridges are not as reliable in producing the Pantone color onto paper as the computer screen displaying the Pantone the customer wants duplicated. We care deeply about the end result compared to what you order. Hope this helps in your ultimate decision & increases general knowledge. |
