Default Re: Wilflex Ink Mixing System

The price looks to be ok. not totally sure as we get our mixing inks in gallons.

You will need a good digital scale that reads grams. This is essential in getting the proper percentages of the various colors.
Make sure you get tons of quart buckets. I found them at a local hardware store for about a buck or two cheaper than industry suppliers.

Industry suppliers sell a bit with a blade on the end that is used for mixing inks with a drill. I believe you can find these in a hardware store as well. I don't think an egg beater will be tough enough.

Containers should have lids. You do not want dust and other artifacts mixing with the inks. They do not need to be air tight just closed

I think you'll be happy with the wilflex system. I use the Rutland M2 series as well as the Wilflex PC series.

it takes a little patience learning to mix properly yet you started on the right foot by getting a true mixing system and one of the best out there.

If you ever have questions give Carl busey a call at Nazdar/PolyOne. hes the ink guy to talk to. I have his card at the office if you need a direct line.

Good luck and happy Mixing
