Part of the 15-color LBX Pantone Mixing System, it combines predictably with every other LBX base to hit precise Pantone targets by weight — and fully cures at just 280°F for safe use on performance fabrics and poly blends.

Why LBX 78888 Green?

The Widest Green Range in One Base

LBX Green anchors more Pantone formulas than any other single green base on the market. Mixed with LBX Yellow it swings warm to kelly and gold-green. Mixed with LBX Marine or LBX Blue it moves cool to teal and forest. Mixed with LBX Black it darkens to hunter and military. One ink, dozens of results.

Engineered for the Pantone Mixing System

LBX 78888 is a precision mixing base — not a shelf color. Weigh your inks on a gram scale, follow the LBX Pantone formula, and get repeatable color matches run after run. The free formulator at formulator.screenprintsupplies.com handles all the math for you.

Low Cure for Performance Fabrics

Full cure at 280°F means you can safely print on polyester, tri-blends, and athletic wear without scorching the fabric or damaging heat-sensitive treatments. Lower cure temps also reduce dye migration risk on poly garments compared to standard-cure plastisols.

Consistent, Production-Ready Printability

Smooth, stable body that holds detail from 86 to 160 mesh. Doesn’t go soupy in a warm pressroom. Flashes cleanly without ghosting or sticking to the platen — whether you’re running it straight or as part of a mixed Pantone color.

Available Sizes

  • QQuart (32 oz) — Great for shops adding green mixing capability or testing formulas before committing to larger volume
  • GGallon (128 oz) — The standard production size for shops running regular Pantone mixing work
  • 55-Gallon Pail — High-volume contract printers and shops with heavy athletic and collegiate green programs

How to Mix with LBX 78888 Green

Step 1 — Get Your Formula

Go to formulator.screenprintsupplies.com, enter your Pantone target, and the free LBX Formulator outputs exact gram-weight ratios for each LBX base you need. No guessing, no waste.

Step 2 — Weigh Your Inks

Use a digital gram scale accurate to 0.1g. Weigh each component into a clean container. Accuracy here is what separates a consistent match from a close miss — don’t estimate by eye.

Step 3 — Mix Thoroughly

Mix until fully homogeneous — no streaks or color variation. A paddle mixer on a drill makes this fast and consistent. Always mix more than you think you need; running out mid-job and re-mixing introduces batch variation.

Step 4 — Print and Cure at 280°F

Print normally and run through the conveyor dryer targeting 280°F internal ink temp. Verify with a donut probe. Do a stretch test and periodic wash tests to confirm cure before shipping customer orders.

Green Pantone Targets LBX 78888 Helps You Hit

Kelly & Bright Green

PMS 347, 355, 361, 368 — mix LBX Green + LBX Yellow for the classic athletic kelly and bright sport greens

Forest & Hunter Green

PMS 357, 350, 3435 — mix LBX Green + LBX Black for deep forest, hunter, and military-style dark greens

Teal & Aqua

PMS 320, 326, 3262 — mix LBX Green + LBX Blue or LBX Marine for teal, aqua, and blue-green targets

Olive & Earth Tones

PMS 576, 378, 7496 — mix LBX Green + LBX Yellow + LBX Black for olive, army, and muted earth-tone greens

⚠ Always Mix by Weight, Not Volume

The LBX formulas are weight-based. Measuring by volume — spooning ink into a cup — introduces errors that throw off color matches. Use a digital scale accurate to 0.1g for every mix. It’s the difference between a match and a near-miss.

⚠ Mix More Than You Think You Need

Re-mixing a Pantone color mid-job is risky — even a small batch variation will show in side-by-side comparison. Calculate your ink needs, add 20% buffer, and mix it all in one batch before the job starts. Store excess in a sealed container for reprints.

LBX 78888 Is a Pantone Mixing Ink — Not Just a Color

This isn’t a shelf color you mix by eye. LBX Green is an engineered mixing base — one of 15 fully inter-mixable LBX inks designed to hit specific Pantone targets by weight. Use the free LBX Pantone Color Formulator to get exact gram-weight mix ratios for any Pantone color instantly. No guessing. No waste. Repeatable run after run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is LBX 78888 Green described as the most versatile base in the system?

Green sits at the intersection of blue and yellow on the color wheel, which means LBX Green can be pushed in almost any direction with minor additions of other bases. Add Yellow to move warm to kelly or lime. Add Marine or Blue to move cool to teal or aqua. Add Black to darken to forest, hunter, or military green. Add White to create mint or sage pastels. No other single LBX base covers as wide a range of common Pantone targets.

How do I use the free LBX Pantone Formulator?

Go to formulator.screenprintsupplies.com — no account or login required. Enter your Pantone target color and the tool returns exact gram-weight ratios for each LBX base needed to hit that target. Weigh your inks on a digital gram scale, mix thoroughly, and you’re ready to print. The formulator is free, runs in your browser, and works on any device.

Can I use LBX 78888 straight from the container, or does it have to be mixed?

You can print it straight — it’s a rich, saturated green right out of the container. However, it’s engineered as a mixing base, so its true value is in the Pantone system. If you need to hit a specific kelly green, forest, or teal for a customer’s brand color, use the formulator to get the exact ratio rather than eyeballing additions.

Is LBX 78888 safe to use on polyester and performance wear?

Yes — full cure at 280°F means it won’t scorch poly fabrics or damage heat-sensitive treatments like moisture-wicking finishes. It also reduces dye migration risk on poly garments compared to standard-cure plastisols, which is critical when printing on dark athletic wear where bleeding dye can tint the print.

Do I need a gram scale to use the LBX system?

Yes — the formulas are weight-based, not volume-based. A digital gram scale accurate to 0.1g is required for consistent results. Eyeballing by volume introduces errors that compound across large batches and lead to color variation between jobs. A quality gram scale is a one-time investment that pays back immediately in reduced waste and reprints.

How do I confirm the ink is fully cured?

Use a donut probe or thermocouple to verify the internal ink temp reaches 280°F — surface temperature guns are not accurate enough for cure verification. Do a stretch test on a cured sample: fully cured plastisol stretches without cracking. For production runs, periodic wash tests (3–5 hot wash cycles) confirm durability before customer orders ship.

Does River City Supply ship same day?

Yes — orders placed before 3:30 PM CT Monday through Friday ship the same day. Free shipping applies automatically on orders over $200. Call us at (512) 454-0505 or email [email protected] with any questions.
