PANTONE® Formula Scale
Printshop LC

The PANTONE Formula Scale LC has been developed specifically for producing smaller mixes of PANTONE Color Inks. This meets the needs both of larger printers seeing a trend towards shorter print runs and faster turnaround, and of smaller printshops who are generally neglected by the ink companies.

This model builds on the past success of the previous PANTONE Formula Scales. These have been well proven by the many thousands of commercial printers throughout the world, who rely daily on their PANTONE Formula Scales for accurate mixes of PANTONE colors.

The PANTONE Formula Scale LC has an enhanced weighing resolution of 0.1grams, so accurate mixes of very small quantities can be achieved, from just a few grams, up to a maximum of 1,000 grams. For those who still like to work with imperial measures, the scale can also be set to work in pounds with a capacity up to 2 lbs.

A key feature of this model, and of all PANTONE Formula Scales, is that the formulas for mixing the PANTONE colors are ready programmed into the scale memory. It makes mixing the inks quick and easy - you just enter the PANTONE Number and ink quantity required, and the scale automatically does the calculations and steps you through the weighing process.

The low cost of the new LC models means everyone can enjoy the benefits of using the PANTONE Formula Scales, even the smallest printshop. There is no waiting for special color inks to be delivered, and no messing about getting the formula right. Save by using lower cost base color inks, and mixing just the amount for the current job. After all, when it comes to reprints, you know you will be able to get the same color again!
