About Tintbooks
Graphic Designers, Ad Agencies, Printers and Publishers are in agreement that Tintbook sets a new CMYK color standard for everyone involved in the Graphic Design Industry.  Tintbook creates a communication tool for color management from start to finish for all printing projects. College and University Art Departments are already working with Tintbook in Graphic Art Students’ classroom sessions.

What are Tintbooks
The Tintbook CMYK Solution achieves predictable color results for printing projects at the design concept stage. With over 25,000 CMYK color formulas contained in each volume, you choose the identical CMYK combinations for Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Quark Xpress. The CMYK formulas are printed under the same conditions as an actual offset printed sheet. In other words, ‘what you see is what you get.’  Digital proofs cannot accurately predict CMYK color results.  The computer screen cannot reproduce ink colors. Only a printed sheet can match the final results for your printed project. That is what Tintbook is all about!

Tintbook Coated

Tintbook Coated is printed on an archival, coated stock especially chosen for its mid-range of brightness. Working with Tintbook gives you the color management tools you need to get accurate results for print projects.  Everyone who works in the Graphic Arts Industry will appreciate the special pastel sections, the viewing condition information and printing tips contained in this Volume of Tintbook.

Tintbook Uncoated

Printing on Uncoated Paper can be challenging. Print projects can achieve a distinct look by printing on Uncoated Paper. Tintbook Uncoated discusses issues about color matching from Digital art file - to proofs - to printing on Uncoated Paper. Using Tintbook Uncoated can decrease confusion about color matching. Special sections contain pastel combinations and printed comparisons between several Uncoated Sheets - plus - how color changes when printing on Uncoated vs. Coated Paper.
