Features & benefits

• Mix any Pantone® (PMS) color — 18 intermixable bases cover the full range

• Consistent, repeatable color — mix the same spot color every run

Always run a test print first. Before any production run, print and fully cure a test on your exact garment and check opacity, hand and wash-fastness. It's the best habit in the shop — if you're not sure on settings, call us at 201-487-9600 before you run the job.

How the system works

• Pick your Pantone® (PMS) target and pull the recipe from the free UMX software.
• Weigh the 18 mixing bases per the recipe on any gram scale (or grab the UMX Mixing Kit with a free scale).
• Print, cure, and get a verified, repeatable spot color — every time.

Printing & curing

• Mesh: 110–305 depending on the print
• Squeegee: 65, 75 or 80 durometer — or a 70/90/70 triple durometer
• Flash: 240–260°F between colors
• Cure: curing is a time-and-temperature process — bring the full ink film to 320–350°F (160–177°C); confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp

Recommended companion products

• Quick Flash Reducer — thins for easier printing.
