Color Matching

Autoroll will color match for you. 

Using the Marabu-mix system, we can match all Pantone, HKS, RAL and Marabu System 21, or we can provide the formulas to you for your own color matching department. We also have the capability of matching PMS on different color substrates.

We can also provide a printout of the Delta readings of a color on request; (D-daylight, A-artificial light, and F-fluorescent light).

Autoroll is here to help you be successful. For further information, you may call our customer service department.

Marabu, in an attempt to optimally meet the color requirements of our customers, has developed the concept of a color program. While focusing on the strengths of screen printing such as brilliance, opacity, and resistance, this concept has incorporated popular color reference systems into a modern computerized colormetric package.

Marabu Color Manager

MCM is an Ink Management Software for Marabu inks. An extensive database that provides formulas according to Pantone®, HKS®, RAL®, and Marabu System 21. Can also store your own formulas under customer name and number. This system calculates quantity needed for a production run minimizing ink waste. Can be linked to an electronic scale to weigh inks and make corrections when adding inks to a formula. Can also calculate costs of formulated inks. To be up-to-date with this database program, MCM offers an easy-to-use update service. All changes can be automatically received via E-Mail or diskette.

Marabu-mix

Computerized color formulation program with spectro-photometer, providing calculations of screen printing ink formulas to reproduce desired color standards. This program also enables systematic comparison and documentation for quality control purposes. This ideal color metric system enables the following:

• Reads and measures presented color standards

• Computer generated formulas

• A Delta E comparison between a generated formula print specimen with the original standard.

• Optimization of the formula, by means of the adjustment program, if divergence is excessive, e.g. by means of a background color or using special printing parameters.

• Quality control to the standard of subsequent production run

System Tampacolor

This colour range for solvent-based pad printing inks includes 17 opaque and semi-transparent/ transparent basic shades, which are intermixable. With this system, almost all popular design colour systems can optimally be reproduced. All basic shades of the System Tampacolor correspond to the standard DIN EN 71, part 3, and therefore can also be used for printing onto toys. The System Tampacolor is used for all newly launched ink types. Some existing types have already been changed to the new colour range.

Marabu System 21

The Marabu System 21 offers an extensive range comprising 168 shades based on 21 standard colors. These can very easily be mixed from a maximum of four basic colors in accordance with Marabu-datamix formulas. These formulas are available in all the major Marabu Ink Series especially for graphic screen printing applications.

Original PANTONE** Basic Shades

Marabu aids in attaining the requirement of the screened pad printer for the reproduction of PANTONE** colors by offering nine genuine PANTONE** basic colors in its Marastar SR, Tampapur TPU, Tampastar TPR and Libragloss LIG series of inks. These have been tested and approved by Pantone USA within the terms of a licensing agreement. Mixture formulas for all the PANTONE** colors can be called up in the Marabou-datamix system.

Special Basic HKS colours

Marabu has included four special, brilliant, basic HKS colors in its Marastar SR ink series, permitting the optimum reproduction of HKS colors. In combination with basic colors from the Marabu System 21, the HKS colors contained in the HKS sample book can be reproduced. Formulas are contained in the Marabu-datamix computerized formula management program.
