Mixing System for Textile Printing Inks in Screen Printing
Mixing systems give you full control over your individual shade in screen printing. This lets you realize exact special colors instead of limiting yourself to a fixed standard range. Whether standard shade, luminous color or special effect – with a mixing system you put together your color exactly and flexibly yourself.
With mixing systems, the precise mixing ratio of base and pigment is what counts in order to achieve an exactly reproducible shade. In the Mixing System category, Print Equipment offers you suitable pigments for your needs. In the Mixing System category you'll find the right foundation for your individual color mixing.
What defines a mixing system?
A mixing system consists of a neutral base that is mixed with concentrated pigments in a defined ratio to your individual shade. Suitable dosing is decisive for an exactly reproducible shade across the entire run.
The typical use of a mixing system is clearly structured:
- The desired shade is determined using a color chart or template
- The suitable pigments are stirred into the base in the defined ratio
- Additives such as thickener or retarder adjust the consistency to the printing process
- The finished mix is printed like a regular textile printing ink
Mixing systems thus ideally complement our plastisol inks and are a sensible addition to our discharge inks.
Why a mixing system is indispensable
A mixing system plays an important role for exact special shades that could not be reproduced with a fixed ready-mixed ink range. Only with an individual mix can a shade be reproduced exactly as specified in the corporate design or by the customer.
The most important advantages include:
- Exact color fidelity: Individual mix instead of a compromise with standard colors
- Wide price range: From standard pigments to high-quality special effects
- Special effects possible: Fluorescent and color-changing pigments for special designs. Your individual shade is decisive for the choice.
- Economical small quantities: Only the amount of ink actually needed is mixed
- Ideal for corporate design requirements: Popular for orders with exact color specifications
This makes a mixing system indispensable both for classic special shades and for eye-catching special effects.

What to look out for when using a mixing system
If you want to use a mixing system for your textile printing inks, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Mixing ratio: Make sure of precise dosing for a reproducible shade
- System compatibility: Make sure that the pigments match your specific base
- Pigment type: Weigh the standard shade against a fluorescent or color-changing effect
- Budget: Factor in the markedly different price range per pigment type
- Documentation: Note down proven mixing ratios for later reorders
The right selection ensures that you work exactly and flexibly in screen printing.
Mixing systems for different applications
Depending on the desired shade and effect, the requirements for your mixing system vary considerably.

The choice of the right pigments therefore depends strongly on which shade and which budget your design requires. For a versatile offering, many textile print shops rely on a combination of standard and special pigments to cover different customer orders.
