Our very own color library for direct inks (flours). Here you have:
- PDF with this color library.
- ASE and ACB file for Illustrator.
- CSV with direct ink combinations for Y*M*, for nS9 and nS∆.
- CSV with direct ink combinations for HF (equivalent), for nS9 and nS∆.
We just have to load it into our library and load and print the PDF with all the substitutions.
