Hi all

As above really. I've been asked to quote on a t-shirt design that requires 3 shades of brown ie. beige, mid and dark but I can't seem to find a supplier that offers 3 shades! Two yes, but not three. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places so I'm wondering whether anyone here might have some suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help

Always worth remembering that Xpres will supply pantone matched sheets in quantity of 20 (or at least they used to)Pretty sure you could get those colours already but without searching I'm not sure.....if they're happy to change then all the better! :-)

This is the stuff....weeds easy and is on a white backing rather than a sticky clear backing. Only comes in sheets.

I know this thread is a little old now, but just a little update to say I enquired about the Pantone colour-matching service that Xpres offers on their website for Easy cut flex and I received the reply that unfortunately they no longer offer this service...booo! I can't find a dark-red hot peel flex anywhere!

The Darkest Red T-shirt vinyl I have had came from these guys:

Maybe they can send you a small offcut of their dark red which I think is code 1302.
