Aquarius Orange PC - 5KG
Highly concentrated orange water-based pigment designed for use with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base inks, providing strong color development and flexible color-mixing capabilities for professional textile screen printing.
Characteristics
Aquarius™ Orange PC – 5KG is a concentrated orange pigment component of the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based screen printing system. The Aquarius pigment set is a highly concentrated universal pigment system designed for use with Aquarius base inks, allowing printers to formulate custom colors for professional water-based textile printing.
Aquarius Orange PC provides a strong orange color component for creating production colors and custom blends. Because it is a pigment concentrate rather than a ready-to-print standalone ink, it is intended to be incorporated into a compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base before printing.
As part of the Aquarius system, Orange PC gives screen printers flexibility to adjust color strength and formulate a broad range of shades while maintaining the characteristics of the selected Aquarius base. It can also be combined with other compatible Aquarius pigment concentrates to create additional colors and warm-color blends.
Packaged in a 5KG production-size container, Aquarius Orange PC is well suited for higher-volume production environments that require repeatable custom color formulation and professional water-based textile printing.

Aquarius Orange PC – 5KG is well suited for custom water-based color mixing, production textile screen printing, Aquarius ink formulations, orange shades, warm-color blends, and professional shops that require larger-volume pigment concentrates.
The 5KG production-size package is especially useful for higher-volume environments that regularly formulate custom colors using the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system.
Aquarius Orange PC is a concentrated pigment component rather than a standalone ready-to-print ink. It is intended to be incorporated into a compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base before printing.
Maximum pigment loading depends on the specific Aquarius base being used. Always follow the technical recommendations for the selected base and finished ink formulation.
Final printed color can vary depending on the Aquarius base, pigment concentration, substrate color and composition, fabric construction, ink-film thickness, mesh selection, stencil thickness, printing technique, curing conditions, and other production variables.
Always perform production testing whenever changing substrates, formulations, pigment ratios, or process conditions. Verify the finished print for color accuracy, colorfastness, cure, adhesion, wash durability, and overall print performance before beginning a full production run.
