Popular pressroom colors, pre-mixed and ready to ship. The Blue Press Ink LLC Standard Color Line combines the convenience of stocked inventory with the same strong pigmentation, smooth rollout, and dependable press performance found in our custom-mixed inks.

These hybrid letterpress inks stay open on press and rollers like a rubber base ink while drying hard on the sheet like an oil base ink, making them ideal for long press runs, fine type, solids, and layered printing. Formulated for consistent color, clean handling, and reliable results across a wide range of papers including cotton, uncoated, and specialty stocks.

Each color in the Standard Line is part of the Blue Press Ink house palette — a curated collection of popular pressroom shades maintained in-house for faster turnaround, easier reordering, and consistent repeatability.

Many colors are visually inspired by widely recognized industry color standards, while remaining distinct Blue Press Ink formulations and house colors.

New colors are added to the Standard Line periodically as the collection continues to grow and evolve around popular pressroom demand and customer favorites.

Available in 5 oz tubes and 3.5 oz jars.
