Aquarius Water-Based Violet Mixing Pigment Concentrate - 1kg
Highly concentrated violet water-based mixing pigment designed for use with the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ ink mixing system, providing clean, vibrant color development for custom textile ink formulations.
Characteristics
The Aquarius™ Water Base Violet Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a concentrated colorant designed for professional textile screen printers using the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system. It provides a strong violet color component for creating custom shades and matching production colors through an ink mixing system.
The concentrated pigment format allows printers to precisely control color strength while developing violet, purple, lavender, and other custom shades. It can also be combined with other Aquarius mixing pigments to expand the available color gamut and produce repeatable formulations.
Aquarius mixing pigments are specifically designed as components of an ink mixing system and are not intended to be printed as standalone inks. The Violet concentrate should be incorporated into a compatible Aquarius base according to the desired formulation and color recipe.
Available in a quart-size container, Aquarius Violet Mixing Pigment Concentrate is ideal for professional shops that require accurate custom color development and repeatable production formulations within the Aquarius water-based printing system.

Aquarius™ Water Base Violet Mixing Pigment Concentrate is designed to be incorporated into an appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based printing base. The selected base determines the finished ink's printing characteristics, opacity, hand, mesh requirements, curing parameters, and overall performance.
Additional Aquarius pigments may be blended with Violet Concentrate when developing custom colors. Any modifiers or other additives should be selected according to the recommendations for the specific Aquarius base and printing application.
- Thoroughly mix the Violet Pigment Concentrate before use.
- Use an accurate digital scale when weighing pigment and base components.
- Add the Violet concentrate to the appropriate compatible Aquarius base according to the desired formulation.
- Mix thoroughly until the pigment is completely and uniformly dispersed throughout the base.
- Use controlled pigment additions when adjusting violet, purple, lavender, and related custom shades.
- Combine with other compatible Aquarius mixing pigments when developing additional custom colors.
- Record pigment and base weights for each formulation instead of mixing by eye.
- Maintain formulation records to improve repeatability between production batches.
- Follow the pigment-loading recommendations for the specific Aquarius base being used.
- Test the finished ink on the intended garment before beginning production.
- Verify finished color, curing, adhesion, colorfastness, and print durability before a full production run.
- Follow the mesh, printing, flashing, and curing requirements of the finished Aquarius ink/base formulation.
Aquarius™ Water Base Violet Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a concentrated colorant and is not intended to be used as a standalone, ready-to-print textile ink. It should be incorporated into an appropriate compatible Aquarius water-based printing base before use.
The selected Aquarius base determines the finished ink's printing characteristics, opacity, hand feel, recommended mesh, flashing requirements, curing parameters, adhesion, durability, and overall performance.
Maximum pigment loading is dependent on the Aquarius base and formulation being used. Follow the applicable technical recommendations for the selected printing base rather than applying a universal pigment percentage.
Excessive pigment loading may affect the printability, curing, adhesion, colorfastness, wash durability, and overall performance of the finished ink formulation.
Fabric color, ink deposit, mesh count, underbase, pigment concentration, and curing conditions can all affect the final appearance of the printed color. Always perform a production test using the intended garment and complete ink formulation before beginning a full run.
