Aquarius Blue R PC - 1KG
Highly concentrated blue universal pigment concentrate engineered for use with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based printing bases, delivering vibrant color, accurate color mixing, and compatibility with the Aquarius Ink Management System.
Characteristics
Aquarius™ Blue R PC – 1KG is a highly concentrated universal pigment developed for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system. It is designed to be mixed with Aquarius printing bases to produce vibrant blue shades and custom colors for professional textile screen printing. Aquarius pigment concentrates are compatible across the Aquarius base system, helping simplify ink inventory and color formulation.
Blue R PC is part of the Aquarius universal pigment range and is supported by the Aquarius Ink Management System (IMS). The IMS provides mixing formulas for matching Pantone® colors and approved brand colors, allowing printers to produce repeatable custom colors while accurately controlling pigment additions.
The concentrated formulation allows relatively small quantities of pigment to create strong, vibrant colors. Because maximum pigment loading varies depending on the Aquarius base being used, the appropriate Aquarius product information and IMS formula should be followed rather than using a universal mixing percentage.
Aquarius water-based pigments are PVC-free and phthalate-free and are intended for professional water-based textile printing applications. Proper mixing, storage, and production testing help maintain consistent color and dependable print performance.

- Pigment Loading: Follow the applicable Aquarius IMS formula and maximum pigment-loading recommendations for the specific base being used.
- Thoroughly stir Aquarius Blue R PC before use because water-based pigments can settle during storage.
- Measure pigment accurately to help maintain consistent and repeatable production colors.
- Mix Blue R PC into the selected Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base according to the applicable Aquarius IMS formula.
- Follow the maximum pigment-loading recommendations for the particular Aquarius base being used.
- Do not use one universal pigment-loading percentage across all Aquarius bases.
- Mix thoroughly until the pigment is completely dispersed and the finished ink has a uniform color.
- When developing custom colors, record exact pigment and base ratios for repeat production.
- Rotate and agitate stored pigment containers periodically to help minimize settling.
- Keep containers properly sealed when not in use.
- Test the finished ink on the intended production garment before beginning a full run.
- Verify color accuracy, print performance, wash durability, cure, and colorfastness under actual production conditions.
Aquarius Blue R PC is a concentrated pigment component rather than a standalone ready-to-print ink. It should be incorporated into a compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ printing base according to the desired formulation and application.
Maximum pigment loading varies depending on the Aquarius base being used. Follow the applicable Aquarius product information and IMS formulation rather than applying one universal pigment-loading percentage across the Aquarius system.
Final printed color and performance can vary depending on the selected Aquarius base, pigment concentration, substrate type and color, ink-film thickness, mesh selection, stencil thickness, printing technique, curing conditions, and other production variables.
Always test the completed formulation on the intended production garment and verify color accuracy, colorfastness, cure, adhesion, wash durability, and overall print performance before beginning a full production run.
