P23: 1.738 labelled SMS colours for textile – Fogra 58 RGB (P23, P23e, P23x).

P23: 1.738 labelled SMS colours (v4), Standard, ECO or MAX edition in Fogra 58 RGB format, suited for digital printing on textile.

Set your workspace up in Fogra 58 RGB mode. The Fogra 58 icc profile is included in the purchase.

When you are ready to use the SMS colours, open your SMS Fogra 58 RGB colour palette seperately in their bitmap format, for instance in Photoshop.
Copy the SMS colours you want to use and paste them into your workspace. We highly recommend keeping the labelled SMS colour patches within the workspace to ensure that you and all users of the file know exactly which SMS colours are being used / should be watched.
This is the same approach we recommend for web design so please refer to www.spotmatchingsystem.com/gettingstarted to get started using SMS colours for print design, what is allowed and what is not. Just make sure they are outside the crop marks.

As an owner of the P23 colour patches, you are free to use the colours as you please. If you however intend to market a brand using SMS colours included within the SMS colour palette you need to order your chosen SMS colours that you plan to use (sRGB format for web, Rec. 709 format for HDTV, CMYK versions for CMYK printing) from Spot-Nordic using your customer ID, issued on first purchase from Spot-Nordic.

For jobs where maximum colour consistency from one media to the other is not required / the plan is not to market the SMS colours formally as a part of a visual brand identity, feel free to do your own conversions and use the SMS colour palettes as you please.

For optimum colour precision in printing, you may also want to consider setting up a separate colourbar with your ordered/official SMS colours – see instructions here.

Note: If you are planning to market your textile colours in CMYK printing on paper, SMS MAX colours are only suited for printing on coated paper- to Fogra 39 and Fogra 51 for instance.

Included in the price is a 12 month license to use the SMS colours of your colour palette for 1 brand/1 company or institution/manufacturer as a registered SMS user, which also gives you access to order SMS services from Spot-Nordic.

To maintain your license after 12 months, you or your customer must either subscribe to SMS  (see www.spotmatchingsystem.com/services) or renew your license of your P23 colour palette.

The cost of renewal is EUR 60.

This will extend the license to officially use SMS colours for a brand or a company and license to order products and services from Spot-Nordic by 12 months.

Please familiarize yourself with the differences between the standard version, ECO and MAX before ordering.

Please send a receipt of your payment along with any job specific information to sms@spot-nordic.com to ensure uninterrupted service.

Optionally you may send your order or enquiry to sms@spot-nordic.com if you don’t like shopping online or if you are not sure what you need to order.

Once your order has been processed we will contact you by email and get to work on your order.
