Get base ink mixing ratios to hit a target Pantone colour, with a Delta-E tolerance.
The Ink Mixing Calculator works out base ink ratios to reach a target Pantone colour, with a Delta-E tolerance so you know how close the mix should land. It takes the guesswork out of the mixing room, turning a target into a recipe of bases and proportions rather than trial-and-error on the bench. It runs in the browser, yours to try for 7 days with no card, and gives a press or an ink technician a repeatable starting point for a match.
