Pantone's guide to mark Queen's colour statements

PANTONE 13-5414 Ice Green “During the Queen's landmark state visit to Ireland, the first since the country gained independence in the 1920s, she was seen in a cool shade of green. Her colour choice echoed the sentiment of her visit as green is widely seen to symbolise new beginnings, fresh thoughts and rejuvenation.”

To make this possible, the guide was printed by Precision Printing using HP Indigo technology. Comprising 60 images of the Queen, the challenge was matching the colours and printing the ultra short run of 60 copies. Precision Printing used its HP Indigo 7500 Digital Press and the 7-colour (CMYKOV) HP IndiChrome on-press PANTONE emulation, simulating PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM that can match 97 percent of the PANTONE Colour range, to achieve exact colour matching.

A special presentation box was made for the book to be presented to Her Majesty.
