Can you print HKS and Pantone colours?
In digital printing the colour space is limited by the 4 basic colours, no spot colours can be printed, but in conventional printing it is possible. To reproduce special colours in digital printing, they are simulated in 4C Euroscale. In offset printing we use HKS + Pantone, in flexo printing, however, only Pantone.
