HKS Color Fans & Color References

HKS color swatches and references are designed for coated and uncoated papers. The colors are calibrated to ensure accurate reproduction on various papers and printing materials. They are ideal for comparing and managing colors in offset printing and for maintaining consistency across your projects. This makes the HKS ideal for printers and publishers.

HKS is a merger of three long-established German printing ink manufacturers: Hostmann-Steinberg Druckfarben, Kast + Ehinger Druckfarben, and H. Schmincke & Co. By combining their extensive experience in the printing industry, HKS has specialized in developing color management products for printing companies and publishers. At grafipress, we carry the complete range of HKS color references, from color charts and guides to color swatches and digital software.
