Pinks Color Transfer Service

Pinks is still around but running their operation out of a place in Novato. You can courier things to them or order in person.

I’ve used Pinks Color Transfer Service for years, since I was in art school mocking up product designs. Jeff is great and can match any color you can give him a sample – swatch of paint or fabric, or refer to any of the color charts. Very dependable.

Pink*s is great for many reasons:
1 the owner is nice, knowledgeable, and very accommodating
2 there are student discounts
3 there are discounts depending on turnaround time
4 fast turnaround time
5 cute cat on premises to greet you
6 parking lot on premises (2 spaces or so)
7 affordable
I’ve had many transfers made here that were applied to bookcloth, glossy paper, matte paper, plastic, and glass. I have to say there is a residue from the adhesive that will stick to some surfaces. I tried to remedy that by trimming the liner paper as much as possible, then applying the artwork with as little contact to the exposed adhesive on the liner. Then, I would take a little Bestine solvent on a Qtip to clean the surface (plastic or glass– again, test a spot).

This service is a necessity for artists! A friend of mine needed type for her gallery show, and we got transfers done from Pinks.
