Hi,

Currently working on my custom set, I got the info about the SunFly color chart (stock colors names and codes).

I share it there in case it can help someone else.

Small return on experience.

FYI, I realized that the first chart is way more accurate than the second one. I'd not advise to use the second one.

Example 1 : for this set, I communicated with CC codes and got this (for example I'm pretty satisfied with the CC40 Straw for the yellow 1000) :

Example 2 : I've provided design with CMYK colors applied. I used the CYMK of Straw for the €1 and got something different (the "butter" CMYK - CC37 - code was used for the spot of the €20 and this one is quite accurate) :
full


So as a conclusion, I'd not use the CMYK chart and instead communicate with @SUN-FLY Poker Chips based on the CC codes only.
 
I recomend geting their color sample chips if you're ordering anything else from them. Bought a set with my last purchase, really nice to see it all printed out as there will always be diffrence from something shown on a screen. Will definitly stick to these colors next time around.

This is a picture found online, i can snap one of my own tomorrow if you like.

Interesting, I did not know such color sample existed.

A color set will more accurately help us reproduce the colors that you wanted, it is true that on screen you don't get 100% accuracy of colors.

These color sets were made for casino customers for color matching, if you'd like to order a set please directly speak to Susie (susie.su@sun-fly.com).

Thanks !

But even on screen there's a big difference between your 2 charts in the very first post in this thread.

So my question is : if I ask a CC16 (Forest) chip, will it be green as on the first chart or like on the second one ? CC16 is totally different on both charts...
 
Stupid of me to only get a single set of these colors... Not sure it will be worth it, but if you wish i can lend them to you @Kid_Eastwood for postage fee back and forth between us.
 
Thanks @HMK , I don't need it right now but I where the difference lies...

Look at the CC16 in the second chart of my first post. The CMYK code is different than the one on your sample which itself looks similar to the one of the first chart.

So basically the chart with CMYK codes that I got from SunFly some time ago was wrong or outdated.

The second chart seems incorrectly displayed, I think it is because the browser can not properly display JPEG files while they are in CMYK mode, please see the following explaination.

This is kind of a technical question, please let me explain it a little bit:

Both @p5woody and our designer are using CMYK color mode for the designs as well as the digital proof, the CMYK color mode is kind of like a 'readable' message (or protocol) for the printers during production.

While displaying a CMYK color on a computer/cell phone screen, there will be a converting process, the color mode will be turned into sRGB/RGB mode depending on what monitor or screen you are using, the converting process causes color distortion, this may be one of the reason why you are seeing color variation on different proofs or photos.

And the other reason is that we used jpeg format for the first few proofs, sometimes the jpeg files cannot be converted properly by some software, you may possibly see a very distortion color, in most cases they are very vibrant, we saw this problem and immediately changed the format into PDF which is more reliable on displaying the proper colors on screens.

None of these will effect the final colors printed on a chip, since the printer only recognize CMYK values, and we also use our own ICC profile to control the output colors.

In most cases, if a customer need the colors to be reproduced precisely on our chips, we'd use Pantone codes for color matching. Or, in rare cases, we'd even send color chip sets to the customers to choose from, these are the solutions of how to avoid color variation/distortion.

For the PRESTIGE design set, Woody provided us Pantone code, and the match is perfect, you don't need to worry about the color variation. I'd suggest you to look at the actual sample pictures to decide if you like the colors or not.
 
It will be the first one, not the second one.

Thanks for the explanation.
Also, look that on the second one, the CMYK code for Forest seems outdated. It's not exactly the same figures as on the sample you shared. This chart might be updated.

Now it's all clear for me.

Thanks for the explanation
 
CC16 is totally different on both charts...
For photos, I download my store's printer's ICC profile from their website. They put out a new set every six months or so. Its nice so you can see that if youre saturating colors, EXACTLY how far you can push in the gamut within Lightroom and Photoshop. And with the ICC, your colors will match perfectly on your monitor (if you have a color calibrated one lol). I am not familiar with illustrator as I Haven't used it since college, but I would guess it can also load SunFly's ICC printer profile and get you exactly what you want :)
 
Also, if you get the ICC of your local print shop as well, you will be able to locally print EXACTLY what your chips will look like as long as the chip's colors are within both SunFly's and your printshop's gamut range.

[double posting because it wont let me edit the above again :mad:]
