Does anyone know if the available ceramic producers (Tina, Sunfly, and BR Pro) can color match more or less exactly. Or at least very, very close? That is if I have a specific Pantone color they could get within a few degrees of it?

And the issue is not just the printer that’s producing them. Pantone is a completely different system of printing compared to the 4-color or 6-color used in ceramic chips.
Pantone inks are actual mixed colors, similar to a car paint is mixed to the final desired color, and applied at 100%.
4-color and 6-color process use a series of very small dots that “mix” at a distance by your eyes.
There are many colors that simulate Pantone colors, but there’s plenty that do not. Blues are notoriously difficult to get bright in 4-color process. Pantone metallics and dayglo are also impossible to recreate.
