for a printed matter ...
can someone help me find a really nice and bright hot pink that will stand out nice on black?
has to be bright because it will be small text on black matte
thank you

it will be hard to overprint pink on black, but try a fluorescent pantone, 806M i think.
- dddc0
i was using that before
anything brighter?
hows 807m?
- johndiggity0
i don't know, how is it going to be printed? are you going to knockout the black? how small is the text? if you can use a demi version of the type, that helps.

what do you mean knockout the black?
- johndiggity0
i mean when the plates are made, is the text going to be overprinted on the black bg, or is the area of black that the text would occupy going to be knocked out? ie, for overprinting, the black plate would apprear solid, for ko, the area of text would appear as white on the black plate.
knocking out a lot of small light colored text or detail on a dark background can cause the plates to misregister, or not line up exactly, depending on the type of printing you use.

yea probably going to knockout
any other bright hot pink pantones?

dddc, don't you think you should thank the nice man for his detailed explanation of the printing process?
hmm?

- johndiggity0
yeah, this is the one that explains everything: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obido…
also, any type of literature or samples from paper reps has all sorts of tricks and tips to getting the best out of print, and it's all free.as nice as anything looks, if it doesn't print right, it's shit.

johndiggity's 806M should stand out nicely if you knock out the black

i'm sending you my underwear. they are a really hot hot pink. copy the color and that should do the trick.
stay away from the butt section of them though cause you know... it's the butt.
- k0na_an0k0
dude, i just realized i need your address.
and again, stay away from the butt area.
- johndiggity0
the skidmarks should be deterrent enough.
- k0na_an0k0
hahaha. you'd think but i ate a whole tub of pink paste last night and you really cant tell the difference in the two colors.
- johndiggity0
i don't buy the paste story. i am always skeptical of bloody asses.
