Color Technology

Many of our customers rely on us when the color match has to be exact and the finished product cannot have even the slightest variation in hue or depth. This exacting work is where the Ink Department at Engineered Printing Solutions excels. Our painstaking attention to detail means that the decorating on your job not only looks right — it looks exactly right. From the first piece through the last, we make sure the colors stay true and will maintain durability throughout their life. Once we know we have the exact color match we keep your custom color formula on file for future replenishment.

Whether it is a pad printing or digital ink application, we can help you select the most effective formulation. We have expertise selecting inks for:

  • Color Mixing
  • Medical grade components
  • Infant and child non-toxic ink applications
  • Migration and toxicity control
  • Food grade inks for either digital or pad
