Professionally mixed PMS-matched letterpress ink in quantities starting at just 5 oz.
Need a custom color for a specific project? We mix PMS-matched letterpress inks to order in practical quantities for printers, artists, universities, and stationery designers.
Most printers don't need 2 pounds of custom ink. Whether you need a single 5 oz tube for a wedding suite or multiple pounds for a production run, we'll mix your color and ship it ready to print.
Available in 5 oz tubes, 10 oz tubs, 1 lb cans, and 2 lb cans.
Why Blue Press Ink?
Blue Press Ink was built around the needs of letterpress printers. We understand that most custom color jobs don't require large minimum orders or production-scale quantities of ink.
Our custom PMS-matched inks are mixed in small batches and available in quantities starting at just 5 oz, making them ideal for wedding suites, stationery projects, limited editions, university print shops, artist editions, and short production runs.
Every custom color is mixed specifically for your order using professional-grade pigments and the same letterpress formulations trusted by printers across the country. The result is an ink that stays open on the press, transfers cleanly, and dries hard on the sheet.

How Far Does 5 oz of Ink Go?
Most printers need less custom ink than they think.
A 5 oz tube is often enough for wedding suites, business cards, stationery projects, artist editions, and other short-run work. Actual coverage depends on image area, paper, impression, and press setup, but letterpress ink goes a long way.
That's why we offer custom PMS-matched inks in quantities starting at just 5 oz. Instead of buying pounds of ink for a single project, you can order a practical amount and get the exact color you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Be sure to specify the PMS number you would like matched. As with any printing process, the final appearance can be influenced by paper, impression, and ink film thickness.

How accurate are your PMS matches?
We use professional mixing systems and pigments to produce close PMS matches. As with all printing inks, slight visual differences can occur due to paper, lighting, and printing conditions.
Can I order larger quantities?
Yes. Custom PMS inks are available in 5 oz tubes, 10 oz tubs, 1 lb cans, and 2 lb cans. Contact us if you require larger quantities.
