Set of 2 barely used Tintbooks (1 for coated stock and 1 for uncoated). Price new is over $150! Tintbook Process Color Selector is the ideal, affordable print color matching system for graphic designers and printers. Instead of choosing colors, hit-or-miss, from a software program and viewing them through a computer monitor, you can start your next print project with a palette of 25,000 CMYK process colors—colors printed on a representative sheet of paper stock using a printing press. Selections you can hold in your hand and view under real world lighting conditions. Why a Tintbook? Because matching colors is tricky. Without the proper tool—a printed color matching system—a page that looks great on your computer monitor can turn out gruesome in print. The colors you see on a monitor, a color inkjet or laser printout, or even a digital proof simply cannot adequately simulate actual printing inks and paper surfaces. Tintbook is easy to use. You simply find a color and enter the corresponding CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) values into your program's color picker. Virtually any computer design program included a color palette field for entering CMYK values—Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, QuarkXPress, Corel, and so on. And, every Tintbook comes with a set of two-sided spotter cards you can use to isolate individual blocks (above right). Use the black side to view colors against a dark background and the white side for viewing colors against a light background. There are two Tintbooks, one for coated, one for uncoated stock: Coated or gloss stock is coated with a clay-like substance that keeps the ink from soaking into the surface of the paper. It is the ideal surface for printing detailed graphics and photographic images in 4-color—everything from brochures and packaging to annual reports and magazines. Uncoated stock can be even more challenging to print on than coated stock. When ink soaks into the surface of the paper, color values can change dramatically. Because an uncoated surface is ideal for writing on, it is the standard surface for letterheads, business cards, and envelopes. And, because it is typically less expensive than coated stock, it is often used for long run projects such as newspapers and books. Specifications: Screen: 175 line; Press: 40" Heidelberg Speedmaster at 9000 (coated), 8000 (uncoated) with CPC Integrated Production Control and CPC-21 Spectrophotometer Image Control; Running variance: +/- 3 percent (coated), 4 percent (uncoated).
