Aquarius Water-Based Blue G Mixing Pigment Concentrate - 5kg
Highly concentrated Blue G water-based pigment formulated for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ ink system, providing vibrant color development, accurate custom color mixing, and compatibility with Aquarius water-based printing bases.
Characteristics
Aquarius Water Base Blue G Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a professional-grade color concentrate designed for use with the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based screen printing ink system. As part of Aquarius's universal pigment range, Blue G provides a strong, vibrant blue component for creating custom colors and matching standardized color formulas.
The Aquarius pigment system consists of 15 highly concentrated colors engineered to work across Aquarius printing bases. Blue G can be incorporated into compatible bases such as Aquarius Soft Base, High Solids Base, Discharge Base, and compatible specialty systems, allowing screen printers to maintain a versatile pigment inventory while producing a broad range of finished colors.
Blue G is supported by the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ Ink Management System (IMS 3.0), which provides formulations for matching Pantone® colors and approved brand colors. For accurate, repeatable formulations, pigments should be weighed using a digital scale according to the specified formula.
This product is a pigment concentrate and is not intended to be printed as a standalone ink. It should be mixed into the appropriate Aquarius base according to the base's recommended pigment-loading specifications. Stir the pigment thoroughly before use and test finished prints for colorfastness and durability before beginning production.

Aquarius Water Base Blue G Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a concentrated colorant and is not intended to be used as a standalone finished printing ink. It must be incorporated into an appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ printing base before use.
The selected Aquarius base determines the finished ink's opacity, hand feel, discharge characteristics, recommended substrates, mesh requirements, curing parameters, adhesion, durability, and overall printing performance.
Maximum pigment loading varies according to the Aquarius base being used. Always consult the applicable Product Information Bulletin and follow the recommended pigment-loading limits for the selected base.
Excessive pigment loading may negatively affect printability, curing, adhesion, colorfastness, wash durability, and other performance characteristics of the finished ink.
Final color can vary with the substrate, ink-film thickness, opacity, pigment selection, base formulation, and production conditions. Always test the finished formulation under actual production conditions before beginning a full run.
For cleanup of compatible Aquarius water-based formulations, use water and mild detergent as appropriate. Do not allow water-based ink mixtures to dry in the screen.
