Opticolor Solvent Ink Products
STANDARD SOLVENT BASED INKS
Standard solvent based inks are produced for use in all areas of color imaging (transfers and direct proofs) and are specially formulated not to crack, chip, or peel and have the flexibility for packaging comps, i.e. folds and curves. Colors are matched to the popular mixing series.
RELEASING INKS
Releasing inks for transfer applications are manufactured specifically for the proofer who prefers to have the release built into the ink. Color clarity is not compromised due to the exclusive release agent used.
Available Colors for Standard Solvent Based and Releasing Inks:

CUSTOM COLOR MIXING SERVICE - SOLVENT & LACQUER BASED INKS
Custom matched solvent based and lacquer based inks are available upon request for a $40.00 added charge. Minimum quantity is 16 oz. Any PMS numbered color can be matched to our most current formula guidebook. We will use 80# Cover Enamel as the substrate to match with using a #11 gauge coating rod. For custom color mixing please provide a swatch drawn on 80# Cover Enamel with a number 11 gauge coating rod. If the swatch is on a special substrate we will need a small amount of that stock (9 x 12 at least) or a sample of the ink. Colors requiring the use of concentrates, double density inks or dyes will be billed in one of those categories.
