Colours/Label Film Data
4.6. Colours
Sony DADC uses the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
Please mark each label film with the Pantone colour number requested by you. Please select your colour from the Pantone Colour Selector 1000, except for double impression (2x) colours.
When using Pantone colours 801 to 814, preprint- ing should be carried out with white colour in order to achieve the luminescent effect similar to the Pantone Colour Selector 1000.
When producing your films please mind that a base of polycarbonate with reflecting aluminium coating is printed and therefore there may be colour deviat- ions compared to printing on paper.
To provide (as much as possible) a compliance of the colours of printwork (e.g. booklets) with the DVD label printing, we advise to preprint a full white base on the DVD.
