Important
Color Matching Information .... Please read carefully!
Trying to match colors that are imprinted on
glassware with colors you select “online” is not an
exact Science. A perfect match of your selected colors and what
can be imprinted on glass may not always be achieved. We
provide you with a Color Chart to help you select the colors you
want in your design, but it is important for you to know that
we can not guarantee a perfect color match.
This may be possible if you were to supply us with true color
swatches and our color sample proofs are approved by you but this
is a costly and time consuming process and should only be necessary
for very demanding design requirements.
The colors featured on our Color Chart may look
slightly different when viewed on different computers and monitors
and most importantly, slightly different than the actual colors
imprinted on Shot Glasses. Another important factor to consider,
is the color of the Shot Glasses you may select for imprinting.
Most colors and color shades will look different on different
colored Shot Glasses and some colors hardly show up if the color
is similar to the color of the Shot Glass. Colors imprinted on
a Clear Shot Glass, will not look the same if imprinted on a Frosted
Shot Glass.
Although we can not guarantee color matches,
we do make a special effort in our imprinting process to achieve
the closest color match possible. We will help guide you in your
color selection to help ensure the best possible imprinting results.
Your understanding of the Color Imprinting process on Glass, will
help us in achieving the results you are expecting.
We would also like you to know that Decal, Kiln
Fired Imprinting, the best imprinting technique used on glass,
has its color limitations. That is why you will see only a limited
color selection in our Color Chart. Decal, Kiln Fired Applications
produces a permanent bond of the design onto the glass. The printing
is not a coating on glass, it actually becomes a part of the glass
substrate. When using this type of imprinting on glass, a special
Ink is required, called Frit Inks and without using a Frit Ink
the bonding process could not take place.
If your imprinting requirements are dictated
by a complex design and/or require specific color matches, it
is advised that you contact us so we can discuss imprinting details
that may be associated with design requirements.
Important: Imprinting Text only Designs
Designs that are composed of only text will
not show up as well as a graphic design, especially on clear Shot
Glasses. Graphic designs tend to cover lots of print area whereas,
text does not. Even Bold Fonts will not show up as well as a graphic
design. You will be advised to select fonts that are as bold as
possible and the darker the color(s) the better. Light tone colors
will not show up well. One way to overcome the font print problem
is to print text over a solid background color, if that is possible,
to get the best results.
