Its hard to explain the issue.

But basically I have to approve another sample before I get the color samples. they sent me a test sample on Monday, should be here today. I have to approve the radian and curve, whatever that means, gonna have to ask her. Thought I already did this with the 3D print they sent me. Like the molds are already made, not like I can remake them.

I just don't get why they didn't tell me this. email is below. it reads bottom up.

Also, now there asking about Pantone color swatches, I supplied them with color swatches from photoshop already. I guess they need actual Pantone Numbers now. Something they should've mentioned awhile back.

Hi mark,
For your mold is finished ,we have sent the testing sample to you by China express on monday.
the tracking number is xxxx.
Once you receive the sample, if the sample curve and radian is ok, we will start to make
the approval sample immediately and it needs two weeks to make the approval sample.
One more questions,For approval sample, please provide your printing color pantone No.: green, red, yellow and frame color pantone
color: gray ,red ,blue for our reference so that we can match your color.thanks.
Have a nice day!
