Default Re: Color Variations with the same powder

Different base materials and surface conditions reflect light through the powder differently. Also, thickness is important for matching colors. When using candy colors it's better to shoot all parts with a common base color. To get a good color match, shoot all parts at the same time or batch. You're more likely to get a common thickness. It takes practice but after a while you'll be able to shoot parts months apart and get the same color.
