Default Re: Mixing primary colors

OK first off, regular plasticol inks do not coe in Primaries. You can get reds, yellow, blues etc. These colors are not true primaries and when mixed will render inconsistent results. The red is actually not a true red, it is a mix of all sorts of pigments. You can get away somewhat yet if you plan on ever pms matching your in for a treat.
Gray = white with a lil balck
yellow and blue wil get a shade of green. What shad its hard to say depending on the ink brand.
Again you can make it work but is not the best option if your mixing all sorts of colors.
It is best to carry certain stock colors.
Black, White, Yellow, Royal, Navy, kelly green, forrest green, maroon et.

Investing in a PMS matching system is a good thing for any screen priting company. We use the Rutland M2 series plasticol system and the Wilflex PC series Pigment based system.
