Other useful things explained…
Pantone - Pantones are specific colors made by mixing certain inks using the Pantone Management System. Pantones are labeled by specific numbers allowing for a more controlled and accurate color of the final print.
CMYK - CMYK, which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key, is a process of printing which involves mixing the 4 different mentioned colors to achieve a spectrum of color.
Does white count as a color?
For our 1 color and 1 color (full background) prints no, but it can be requested to be added then it will count as a color, resulting in a 2 color print.

Please note we have a +/- 10% tolerance on color, size and weight. Colors seen on screen are more vibrant (RGB) than the actual print color (CMYK/Pantone). Color vibrancy can also be further affected by material choice, such as thin semi-translucent paper stock (Tissue) or darker paper stocks (Kraft Paper, Cardboard), as well as print finish (Coated/Uncoated/Matte/Gloss).
