Pantone PMS color to Oracal Vinyl color

[bkyi44]

Hi~ everyone~ :signs101:
How can I match the Pantone PMS colors to Oracal vinyl colors? I searched the Oracal website but I couldn't find the reference or chart.

Somestimes client specify PMS color. I have to eyeball it using Pantone color bridge & Oracal color guide brochure.

Is there a better way to do it?

I wish I can enter a PMS color = Oracal, FDC or Avery vinyl (closest color) comes right out !!! lol

eyeball is best IMO

I believe Feller's gives compatible cross referencing in their catalog, unsure how accurate it truly is though.

True. But seldom there's huge difference between my eyeball & client's eyeball~ lol.

Thank you joeshaul~

I didn't notice the color code on Feller's catalog.

Excellent~

Now I can double & cross check my eyeball~

there are a few more pantone colors in the gerber 3m vinyl color book... fdc has some of them but more are avail. thru 3m.... their are only so many choices... at which point
eyeball works....

Some are in Fellars, we just broke out the PMS swatches and wrote them on our shop chart.
