Pacman Vector files - correct colours??

[stuzza]

I have just downloaded the Pacman vector artwork available at the artwork site - All great work, thanks for these!  However, I am wondering how to get the correct print out for the colours.  Is the colour Yellow correct for these files?  It seems a bit darker than the photos of Pacman cabs on the net?  Also the blacks are a dark grey not black?  Any advice on printing these to correct colours?

Anyone?  Surely someone on these forums has printed the pacman artwork before?

If you want it done like factory-original, the paint codes are here and the stencils are here.

Who do you have doing the printing for you?

Different print-shops => different processes => different quality.

I have a friend who is a sign writer who will be printing it.  Perhaps I'll just get him to print a small test version to see how the colours come out, guess it's the only way I'll know for sure.

Doesn't have to be exact, just that on my screen some of the colours didn't look right?

Cheers.

have him do a test print if you want best looking colors.

Few things you have to keep in mind are that your screen is RGB and printers are CMYK. Plus colors will be different all dependent on the printer used, the ICC profile the person is using and the type of vinyl and inks.
