Aquarius Blue R PC - 5KG
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 – 5KG is a highly concentrated universal pigment developed for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system. It is designed to be mixed with compatible Aquarius printing bases to produce vibrant blue shades and custom colors for professional textile screen printing.
The universal pigment system allows Aquarius pigment concentrates to be used across compatible Aquarius bases, helping simplify ink inventory while providing printers with greater flexibility when creating custom colors. The concentrated formulation provides strong color development while allowing precise pigment additions during color formulation.
Blue R PC is designed to support accurate and repeatable color matching through the Aquarius Ink Management System, making it well suited for production environments where consistency between batches and repeat orders is important.
Packaged in an economical 5KG production-size container, Aquarius Blue R PC is an excellent choice for higher-volume production facilities and shops that regularly mix Aquarius water-based inks, providing a larger supply of pigment concentrate for production color matching and custom formulation.

Aquarius Blue R PC is a pigment concentrate intended for color formulation and should not be treated as a standard ready-to-print ink. It should be combined with a compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ printing base to create the finished water-based ink formulation.
Pigment loading and additive requirements depend on the specific Aquarius printing base being used. Always follow the recommendations for the selected base and complete ink formulation rather than applying one universal mixing percentage across all Aquarius products.
Pigment loading, base selection, fabric type, substrate color, mesh count, additives, print technique, ink deposit, and curing conditions can affect the appearance and performance of the finished print.
Always test the complete ink formulation on the intended production substrate and verify color accuracy, cure, adhesion, wash durability, and overall print performance before beginning a full production run.
