Question what color books do you prefer?

[CKCUSTOMKC]

Trying to obtain new color books however this is my first time running a department and everything I have, I inherited from someone who is no longer at the company, and that includes outdated color books. in the past I have used both the normal formula guide and the color bridge guide. however the formula guide I have found isnt the best for digital printing. (I print on an hp latex 315). That being said I will also more than likely have to share these color books across the office with our marketing team.

which color books do you all prefer/ recommend for my situation? I am leaning toward the color bridge version currently because that should allow for ease of use across both departments

I like color bridge, it will get you in the ballpark.

I like the color bridge because I shows me what to expect if I have some 4 color offset work done and the CMYK value will get you a head start on matching a solid coated working with 6.

Agreed on the bridge book. I just bought this one, although I got a small discount for Cyber Monday. Looks like it's $220 + Shipping and/or tax.

I like the color bridge also. I also printed the CMYK chart from my printer - I have the 315 also
