Key Features

Effortless Custom Blending:
Each pastel base is formulated to mix smoothly and consistently, giving you control to achieve the exact tint you need—from soft blush pinks to airy sky blues.

Professional Ink Performance:
Made with Blue Press Ink’s hybrid technology, these bases are engineered to stay open on your press for longer print runs while drying hard on the sheet, ensuring crisp, smudge-resistant results.

Delicate, Light-Filled Colors:
These inks are intentionally highly transparent and weaker in strength compared to standard bases. This allows them to blend beautifully into true pastel shades without overpowering your mix.

Reliable Print Quality:
Formulated with finely milled pigments, these inks provide smooth coverage, clean impressions, and precise detail, even on textured or specialty stocks.

Flexible Packaging Options:
Choose from Jars, Tubes, Tubs, or 1-pound Cans for your bundle, to best suit your workflow, whether you’re creating small runs or handling larger projects.

Important Note on Use

Pastel bases are not lightfast and will fade with prolonged sun exposure. Their reduced pigment strength is intentional, making them ideal for blending accurate pastel tones, but not suited for high-opacity or outdoor applications.
