Aquarius Water-Based Yellow R Mixing Pigment Concentrate - 1kg

Highly concentrated Yellow R water-based pigment concentrate designed for custom color mixing with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ bases, delivering vibrant, consistent color for professional textile screen printing. Characteristics Aquarius Water Base Yellow R Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a highly concentrated universal colorant developed for use with the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system. Yellow R is part of the Aquarius pigment range and can be combined with compatible Aquarius bases to formulate custom colors for textile screen printing. The concentrated pigment system gives screen printers flexibility to produce a broad range of colors while maintaining a streamlined inventory of bases and pigments. Aquarius pigments are compatible across Aquarius printing bases, including specialty products, making Yellow R useful for shops working with multiple water-based printing applications. Yellow R is supported by the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ Ink Management System (IMS 3.0), which provides formulations for matching Pantone® standards and other target colors. Accurate weighing and consistent mixing procedures help provide repeatable color from batch to batch. Because Yellow R is a pigment concentrate rather than a finished printing ink, it is intended to be mixed into an appropriate Aquarius base before printing. Pigment loading and final printing characteristics should follow the recommendations for the specific Aquarius base being used.

The selected base determines the finished ink's opacity, hand, printing characteristics, substrate compatibility, and curing requirements. Yellow R may also be blended with other compatible Aquarius pigment concentrates when developing custom colors according to Zodiac™ Aquarius™ IMS 3.0 formulations. Any additional modifiers or additives should follow the recommendations for the specific Aquarius base being used. Usage Tips ▼ Stir the Yellow R Pigment Concentrate thoroughly before use. Formulate colors according to the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ IMS 3.0 mixing system where applicable. Use an accurate digital scale when preparing color formulas. Accurately weigh both pigment and base to help maintain repeatable pigment-to-base ratios. Mix thoroughly until the pigment is completely and uniformly dispersed throughout the selected Aquarius base. Follow the Product Information Bulletin for the specific Aquarius base to determine maximum allowable pigment loading. Do not assume one universal pigment percentage across different Aquarius bases. Record successful pigment and base weights for repeat production batches. Periodically shake or rotate pigment containers during storage to help minimize settling. Follow the printing and curing recommendations for the selected Aquarius base and finished formulation. Always perform a test print before beginning production. Evaluate colorfastness, print durability, opacity, cure, and final color before a full production run. Remember that final appearance can vary with ink-film thickness, substrate, opacity, pigment selection, and production conditions. Important Printing Information ▼ Aquarius Water Base Yellow R Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a concentrated colorant and is not intended to be printed as a standalone, ready-to-print ink. It should be incorporated into an appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ printing base before use. The selected Aquarius base determines the finished ink's printing characteristics, opacity, hand feel, substrate compatibility, mesh requirements, flashing and curing parameters, adhesion, colorfastness, durability, and overall performance. Maximum pigment loading varies according to the Aquarius base being used. Always refer to the applicable Product Information Bulletin and IMS 3.0 formulation rather than applying one pigment percentage across all Aquarius printing systems. Excessive pigment loading can affect printability, curing, adhesion, colorfastness, wash durability, and other performance characteristics of the finished ink. Final color appearance can vary depending on the selected substrate, ink-film thickness, opacity, pigment combination, base formulation, garment color, and production conditions. Always evaluate the complete formulation under actual production conditions before approving a color match or beginning a full production run.
