Color Matching FAQs (Pantone vs. CMYK)

What file formats do you accept for printing?

We recommend submitting print-ready PDF files with embedded fonts and high-resolution images (at least 300 dpi for print). We also accept Adobe Illustrator (.AI), InDesign (.INDD), Photoshop (.PSD), and EPS files. If you are unsure, our team can review your files and advise on any adjustments needed before printing.

What is the difference between CMYK and Pantone colours?

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black): This is the standard colour model used in full-colour printing. CMYK blends these four inks to create a wide spectrum of colours.
Pantone (PMS – Pantone Matching System): This is a universal system of spot colours, mixed to precise formulas. Pantone is ideal for ensuring exact colour consistency, especially for logos or brand elements.

For most projects, CMYK is suitable. However, if your brand requires exact colour consistency across all media, we recommend specifying Pantone colours.

Testimonials

Tracy Godin

Very impressed with the responsiveness of your team for the initial label and printer order as well as the training and support for the printer set up. I was initially worried that I’d purchased a printer set up that was overly complicated, but the tutorial with your team put me on the right track and I’m up and running creating beautiful labels for my products.

David Aguilar

My experience with Allegra has been seem-less. From the owner, Binny to the graphic Designer Derek and all the staff I have been in contact with, everyone has been a pleasure to work with and the quality of work has been incredible.

Purana Pappi

I’m so blown away by the professionalism of this company. Communication is top notch. I got a tour by Arushi a few days back and it gave me confidence that I found the right place. I reached out to 5 different print shops for my project and they all took days to get back to me with no proper estimates. I could tell they would give me something I did not order. Aurushi, gave me samples right away to look at and feel. Highly recommend.

I came to Allegra with a rush job for displays for a trade show, poor artwork, low resolution photos and a mild amount of panic. They made everything look fantastic, recommended the best product, and had everything perfect and ready to go a week ahead of time. Thanks to Binny, Derek and the great team at Allegra for being so easy to deal with and delivering such an exceptional result!
