The perfect starter kit for in-shop ink mixing!  The Rutland M3 LC Primary Color Kit is the base set needed for use with the Rutland IMS Ink Mixing Software (kit may differ from example photos - see kit breakdown in description).

Rutland™ M3 LC is an easy to use, highly accurate finished color mixing system. This system is much more forgiving than a PC-based product because it doesn't require as precise a measurement of the base and additives to complete a formula. The M3 LC system consists of flexible cure inks created to provide an excellent wet-on-wet performance.

This system is designed for use with the IMS 3.0 ink management system (you will receive access to this online system from Rutland after purchase).  IMS 3.0 is a cloud-based solution for managing color and inventory in the textile screen-printing market. Offering tools for color creation and standardizing, IMS manages daily maneuvers in a highly functional ink room by providing color management and communication agility. Color chip images appear with formulations to help with visual communication. The new platform and updated functionality will continue to add functional support and innovation to the concept of total ink room management.

Avient / Rutland IMS Ink Management System

The M3 LC finished ink mixing system is a very opaque mixing system, offering excellent consistency on press throughout production runs. It is comprised of user-friendly inks, producing very bright colors and maintaining saturation during long production runs.


FOOLPROOF INK MIXING!
The Rutland IMS Software does the calculating for you, with exact amounts needed of each color.  It even calculate estimated print costs.  For best results, Texsource recommends the use of an accurate digital scale.
