Pantone Plus® Premium Metallics
New Pantone® Premium Metallics were created in response to demand for new hues that pop and shimmer. The Pantone® Plus Series Premium Metallics includes 300 new colors on coated paper. Metallic colors add extra weight to any design. Metallics have become so widely used that they are no longer a "passing fad" but have become a strong trend that will be popular for many years to come. The new Premium Metallics have been formulated to have greater brilliance than previous metallics and can be coated without loss in luster. The new metallic colors also have a longer life after printing without tarnishing or blemishing. Formulated using Pantone® Premium Silver and Pantone® Goe™ base inks to allow for aqueous and UV coatings while maintaining color integrity. Metallics are developed using Eckart Inks and are classified as "non-leafing". Eckart explains that "non-leafing pigments are completely wetted by the binder and thus spread evenly throughout the coating film". Simply put, the metallic components are directionally aligned and lay flat on the surface of the paper, creating a visual uniformity and homogeneous luster. Leafing metallics may not align consistently and do not lay flat on the paper, resulting in difficulties when trying to coat them in a uniform manner. Pantone® Premium Metallics numbering begins at Pantone® 10101.
