Due to the nature of the printing process, and the linens, Sculptware cannot guarantee color matching. If you wish to match a specific Pantone® color, it must be specified when sending your art. Depending on the item, this may incur an additional charge. For closest color match, please specify Coated Pantone® (PMS) colors. We cannot match CMYK values.
We will review your artwork and let you know if we have any questions. Not familiar with these specifications? No problem. Contact a Sculptware Screenprinting representative at 480.778.9600
