Has anyone had a specialty ink made to order according to a PMS number? And if so, any suggestions of quality, inexpensive companies to work with?

Virtually all ink companies offer PMS ink matching, but in the long run you will find custom ordering ink this way to be the most expensive method there is.

I would suggest you consider getting an ink mixing system for your shop if you have the need to constantly be mixing Pantone colors. A basic qt kit can cost around $500 and you will need a basic digital scale and some containers. The nice thing is that over time the cost on shipping alone will more than pay for itself and you will be able to mix any qty you need from a pint to several gallons depending on your scales capacity. The other nice thing is that if you need more of a color you can mix it in about 10 minutes vs waiting days or longer to order it.
