Print in spot colours
In total, balloon printing can be realised with up to 8 spot colours.
The colours are printed as spot/special colour (similar to HKS and Pantone).
1-coloured prints can be realized on up to 4 side of our balloons.
Prints with up to 5 spot colours may be printed on two balloon sides. From five colours on upwards, printing is also possible on one side of the balloon.
With prints with up to 5 colours and multilateral imprints, an offset may appear between the colours due, since the balloon is a very flexible print medium. For highest precision with a big printing area, please select the CMYK print. If you have selected more than five colours, the balloon designer automatically uses the CMYK print.
When using colourful balloons please note that we may need to add a white layer beforehand. In this case, only seven colours may be used for printing your artwork.

Photo (CMYK)
By using the screened scale print (Euroscale), nearly every colour, colour levelling and halftones can be displayed with the CMYK-print colours (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). This print type is really meant for photos and multicoloured logos. In addition to the CMYK imprint, you may use up to three more colours - for example to use spot-colours. That’s helpful e.g. to display fonts better and more colourful.
The photo(CMYK) print is only possible on one balloon side.

Please note:
The balloon is an extremely elastic medium. Printed balloons gain a certain level of transparance when they are inflated, thus stretching the print; the printing colours can appear different. The balloon colour influences the appearance of the print as well. The printed colours may vary in intensity depending on the air or gas quantity.
If you are uncertain in selecting the type of print or if you have other questions, please feel free to contact our sales team by using the direct contact form or our online chat.
