Maroon Solvent ink for sign printing?

[Farmboy]

Does anyone have a source for maroon solvent ink. Nazdar has some, but it's a transparent toner ink and you have to purchase it in 4 gallon lots. This is being used to screen print yard signs. Thank you.

Can't you mix it up on your own ??

7900 series, not fire red, I think it might be cardinal red, I'll check when at screen shop in the morning. Color actually prints a burgundy instead of red straight from can.

NazDar has marroon solvent ink in either 79000 & 96000 series I think it's called rubine red

I tried that, not very happy with the results. I would rather have a source for more consistent color. I have a color card from Nazdar, none of the stock colors are really close to maroon. Rubine looks more light red. I'll give the Inktech a look. Thank you.

as far as mixing, it would be much easier to at least get a spot that is almost right. then add 1 part black, or 1 part yellow to the ..."20 parts whatever". that way your ratio is far more repeatable and the added parts are less sensitive causing less accuracy issues.

Ordered a gallon of Inktech. To be honest these inks cost too much to experiment with to try and hit the right color.

Maroon is one of the most expensive colors! Looks delicious when mixing it though!
