Definition of Pantone & Bromide

I came across these 2 terms when involved in the producing of invitation card & flyer for the 'Best Sourcing Initiative' program co-organized by SNEF, SBF, NTUC, MOM & Singapore Compact. I thought of putting this into my Blog to remind myself of what these 2 terms mean...

Pantone: A standard color-matching system used by printers and graphic designers for inks, papers and other materials. A PMS colour is a standard colour defined by percentage mixtures of different primary inks.

Bromide: Created using film negatives or positives and result in high resolution, positive black and white image on permanent photographic paper. Logos and logotype are commonly converted into bromides for artwork and scanning purposes. Also known as a PMT (acronym for photomechanical transfer).
