Clearance International Coatings IC 7503 Yellow UltraMix Color Concentrate
UltraMix® 7500 Series Pantone® Color Concentrate (CC) System consists of 19 non-phthalate, semi-curable pigment concentrates that can be used to strengthen, shade, tint, or enhance International Coatings' inks.
Create special or standard colors by mixing the 7500 Series Color Concentrates with appropriate International Coatings' bases while using International Coatings’ UltraMix®, Pantone® color matching software, either online or on the desktop version.
MODIFYING COLOR CONCENTRATES
The 7500 Series Pantone® Color Concentrates should not be modified with any product. Any adjustments, if needed, should be made after the color concentrates are mixed into the other inks or bases.
MIX RATIOS
To mix standard opacity primary colors, the mix ratio is: 2-parts 7500 CC Mixing Base to 1-part 7500 Color Concentrate.
To make HD (high density) colors using International Coatings 142 HD Base, a good starting point would be a mix ratio of 5-parts 142 HD Base to 1-part 7500 Color Concentrate. Test first before doing a production run. A good starting point for addition of 7500 Color Concentrates to a finished ink is 15% by weight. Note that adding too much of the color concentrates to another ink can possibly lead to crocking, poor bleed resistance or change the curing/fusing parameters. Test first before doing a production run.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
7500 Series Pantone® Color Concentrates are not stand alone inks and will not cure/fuse properly and become wash fast unless mixed into other RFU inks or appropriate bases. The color concentrates must be thoroughly mixed into the desired ink or base before using.
Colors produced using the 7500 Series Pantone® Color Concentrate System will vary in opacity. Colors will reproduce best on white or light colored fabrics. Colors may appear metameric (not match well) when viewed under different types of lighting. Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production run
