Product: Mixing Colors (Pantone® Base Inks) Legacy Colors

Our Pantone® Mixing Base Inks are the essential foundation for creating custom PMS spot colors with the Solid Color Formula Guide. Each base is formulated with our Blue Press hybrid technology — staying open on press for smooth, consistent handling while drying hard on the sheet for stackable, smudge-resistant results.

With high pigmentation, balanced body, and low tack, these bases roll out easily and mix cleanly, delivering precise and repeatable color matches. Whether you’re matching brand colors, building bold primaries, or blending subtle pastels, these inks ensure professional-grade accuracy across every project.
