PANTONE PLUS FORMULA GUIDE solid coated & uncoated(GP1301)

New Pantone Plus Series Formula Guides - two guide set

The PANTONE formula guide has been an essential tool for graphic designers, pre-press professionals and printers for four decades. As today's converging workflows are making colour management more challenging than ever, we have responded by replacing the Pantone Matching System® with the new PLUS SERIES which enhances the tools available. The new PLUS SERIES retains all the classic colours of the Pantone Matching System® while building on its success with exciting new colours and features.

The Pantone PLUS Formula Guide provides a consistent method for selecting and matching solid PANTONE Colours.
