UMX System Colour Plastisol Inks

These component inks form the Total Ink Solutions Series UMX colour matching system, this range of inks are ready for use (RFU) as a single colour on there own.

UMX inks have unique properties that allow for faster wet-on-wet production speeds with the use of less pressure and with extremely low ink build-up under the screen.

This ink has a very creamy consistency and is short-bodied, with very low tack and greatly improved shear. Ideal for high definition, resolution and detail when halftone printing.

Use the UMX formulation tool to mix 1000's of Pantone shades as well as create your own unique formulations.

Note: Pre-test on actual substrates before any full production run, for dye bleeding, adhesion, wash fastness and other desired effects.
