Easy Mix BIO Reflex Blue is a Pantone base ink for conventional sheetfed offset printing. Use the appropriate base colour directly or in a formulated blend. The series stays fresh in the ink duct and suits absorbent substrates.
What distinguishes Reflex Blue?
Reflex Blue and Reflex Blue Extra serve different purposes. The standard variant is a system base ink. Extra is for printing the colour directly.
Easy Mix BIO in practice
- Press-ready: no need to add driers or anti-skinning agents.
- High colour strength: use the base colour directly or in appropriately formulated blends.
- Good setting: supports finishing after you confirm that the print is ready.
The series suits coated and uncoated papers and boards. Assess the result on a substrate similar to your production stock. Paper absorbency and ink film thickness affect the result.
Can you use formulas from the latest Pantone guide?
Do not automatically use formulas from Pantone guides issued since 2023 with Easy Mix BIO. The high-fastness base inks introduced then are not part of this series. Formulate each blend for the components you actually use.
System certification does not make every new formula compatible with every base-ink set. Compare the prepared colour with a physical reference before production.
How should you select ink for finishing?
Check the fastness table for Reflex Blue. Full-strength and tinted inks can have different lightfastness. Confirm ink, substrate and process compatibility before varnishing or laminating.
Does this ink suit UV curing or every film substrate?
No. Select a suitable product for UV curing and non-absorbent substrates. Do not use this series for food packaging without a functional barrier.
Compare other Pantone inks by exact name, application and fastness. Select Easy Mix BIO Reflex Blue for your actual process. Do not substitute a base ink with a similar shade.
