Aquarius Blue G PC - 1KG
Highly concentrated blue-green universal pigment concentrate engineered for use with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink bases, providing vibrant, consistent color for custom mixing and textile screen printing applications.
Characteristics
Aquarius™ Blue G PC – 1KG is a concentrated water-based pigment designed for use as part of the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ color mixing system. Rather than being used as a standalone printing ink, the pigment is blended with a compatible Aquarius base to formulate finished water-based colors for professional textile screen printing.
The highly concentrated formulation allows printers to produce strong, vibrant colors while controlling pigment loading according to the specific Aquarius base being used. Aquarius pigments integrate with the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ Ink Management System (IMS), helping shops formulate repeatable production colors and maintain consistency from batch to batch.
Blue G PC provides a versatile blue-green color component for custom formulations and can be combined with compatible Aquarius bases and pigment concentrates to develop a wide range of production colors. Accurate weighing and formulation control help provide consistent results across repeat orders and production batches.
Aquarius Blue G PC is also one of the pigments specified for the Aquarius Transfer System. The 1KG package provides a convenient production size for textile screen printing, color-mixing, and compatible transfer-system formulations.

Aquarius Blue G PC is a concentrated pigment component and is not intended to be used as a standalone ready-to-print ink. It should be incorporated into a compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base to produce the finished water-based printing formulation.
Maximum pigment loading varies depending on the Aquarius base being used. Follow the technical recommendations for the specific base and formulation rather than applying one universal pigment-loading percentage across all Aquarius products.
Final color, opacity, curing requirements, wash durability, and colorfastness can vary depending on the selected Aquarius base, pigment concentration, fabric or substrate, mesh selection, ink deposit, printing technique, and curing conditions.
Always perform a production test on the intended garment or substrate and verify colorfastness, cure, adhesion, wash durability, and overall print performance before beginning a full production run.
