1. This manual provides spot color samples and mixing formulas for spot colors, serving as a reference for graphic designers and printing professionals in industries such as printing, publishing, packaging, and advertising.
2. The manual includes 27 base colors and 574 formula colors, totaling 601 color samples, covering various color systems, luminosity levels, and chroma variations in the Munsell color system.
3. Due to differences in ink brands and batches used by various printing plants, minor adjustments may be required when mixing colors according to the system's formulas.
4. Each spot color formula introduces two preparation methods: one by "parts" ratio, such as the example ZSPS060 in the preface, which can be mixed using 4 parts of medium yellow plus 1 part of green. The other method is by weight fraction (%), meaning to mix 1 kilogram of ZSPS060 spot color ink, use 1 × 80.0% = 0.8 kilograms of medium yellow ink plus 1 × 20.0% = 0.2 kilograms of green ink.
5. This manual should be stored properly. Due to factors such as pigment fading, exposure, and paper discoloration, the color samples inside may change over time. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the manual annually to ensure the accuracy of color communication.
