With color inks, immediate readiness for use is what counts in order to save time in day-to-day production. In the Color Inks category, Print Equipment offers you ready-to-use ink series for your needs. In the Color Inks category you'll find the right solution for your quick production start.
What defines color inks?
Color inks are ready-mixed plastisol inks that can be printed directly without additional mixing effort. A suitable color selection is decisive for an opaque, ready-to-use print result without waiting time.
The typical use of color inks is clearly structured:
- The suitable ready-mixed ink is selected directly from the available color range
- The ink is printed directly onto the textile through the screen without further mixing
- A final drying or fixing process ensures permanent curing
- For special shades, the ready-mixed ink can additionally be adjusted with the Pantone mixing system
Color inks thus ideally complement our mixing system and are a sensible addition to our plastisol inks.
Why color inks are indispensable
Color inks play an important role for a quick, uncomplicated production start. Only with ready-to-use inks can the time spent on individual mixing for standard shades be saved entirely.
The most important advantages include:
- Immediately ready for use: No mixing effort for standard shades
- Opaque and fluorescent: Also available as halftone ink and with special effects
- Phthalate- and heavy-metal-free: Certified and wash-resistant up to 60°C. Your individual shade is decisive for the choice.
- PVC-free variant available: For particularly environmentally conscious production
- Ideal for day-to-day production: Popular for standard orders with clearly defined shades
This makes color inks indispensable both for fast day-to-day production and for environmentally conscious special orders.

Important criteria are:
- Shade availability: Check whether your desired shade is already available as a ready-mixed ink
- PVC-free: With particular sustainability standards, look for the PVC Free PVP series
- Certifications: Look for proof such as OEKO-TEX, ZDHC, GOTS or H&M positive list

Color inks for different applications
