Hi all. we are struggling to match a green inner mug and handle. we want the font the same as the green inside and on the handle. we have tried various different shades and none are coming out even close to what we want. they are the ones from listawood. see picture. any help would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks

I'd print numerous blocks of greens in different shades/ mixes of cyan, yellow and magenta and print these onto a sample mug. Look at the one that is the best match and then use that mix of cyan, yellow and magenta for your font colour.

thanks guys. thats a great help. for some reason they are not printing that clearly. yet do a full color image and it prints fine. test print on printer is top notch. just not liking this green.

Making a bit of a rod for your back trying to colour match with sublimation tbh. So many variables to take into account and these could change in between different batches, temperature, new inks and so on.

Calvin,

Did you manage to get a near match for the coloured mugs; if you have, would you mind sharing the colour codes that you use, if I am not mistaken there are around 8 colours available in the market.

Thx in advance.
