This printer allows you to get more eye-catching shades from pastel through to neon, and is world’s first PANTONE calibrated printer for PANTONE PASTEL & NEON GUIDE Coated in addition to 99% coverage from the PANTONE FORMULA GUIDE Solid Coated. However, this is dependant upon the paper stock used as the paper can alter the final colour dramatically.
Your Own Paper
We do have some papers that we recommend students avoid when printing on their own paper. These include:
G.F. Smith
Neenah Environment 90gsm (The ink soaks too deep into the paper and fades the colour.)
We update this list regularly when a new paper to avoid is discovered.
