Frequently asked questions

What print method is better? What produces the best quality?

In printing, we find that no singular method is better than any other. Each printing method is unique and might be the better choice for specific jobs. The method that suits your needs will vary depending on your budget, print quality, style or content of artwork, and the materials on which  you’ll be printing.

If you’re looking to order and are trying to determine which print method will be best for your brand, check out the table above or speak with a Packlane expert today. 

What is the difference between PMS and CMYK?

CMYK is a four-color process that uses four different plates to create an image. It is a tried and tested technique that has been used for hundreds of years. The Pantone Matching System is ideal for jobs that need accurate and exact colors. This is also a more expensive printing process.
