Description

Every Purple. One Base.

Collegiate licensing. Greek apparel. Fashion brands. Corporate identity programs. Purple is one of the most common and most challenging colors to match in screen printing — because the purple family spans from blue-violet to red-violet, and even small formula variations produce dramatically different results. Inktek LBX 58888 Violet is the single base that anchors the entire range. Part of the 15-color LBX Pantone Mixing System, it combines with Magenta, Blue, and White to cover every purple Pantone target at a safe 280°F cure temp. Use the free formulator at formulator.screenprintsupplies.com for exact ratios.

Why LBX 58888 Violet?

The Purple Anchor

LBX Violet is a true blue-violet that sits at the center of the purple spectrum. It anchors PMS 2685, 2695, 267, 268, and the collegiate purple family. Add Magenta to warm toward red-violet and plum. Add Blue to cool toward blue-purple and periwinkle. Add White for lavender and pastel purple.

Covers the Full Purple Spectrum

From dark collegiate purple to bright brand violet to soft lavender pastel — one base covers the entire range. The free formulator gives you exact gram-weight ratios for any specific Pantone purple target, eliminating guesswork across the most technically demanding color family in screen printing.

Low Cure for Performance Fabrics

Full cure at 280°F means safe use on polyester, tri-blends, and athletic wear — the primary substrates for the collegiate and Greek apparel markets where purple Pantone matching is most in demand.

Consistent Production Printability

Smooth, stable body from 86 to 160 mesh. Doesn’t shift in consistency during long production runs. Flashes cleanly without ghosting — reliable performance on the long collegiate and brand runs where purple color accuracy is non-negotiable.

Available Sizes

  • QQuart (32 oz) — Good for adding purple mixing capability or running smaller collegiate and brand jobs
  • GGallon (128 oz) — Standard production size for regular Pantone mixing across the purple spectrum
  • 55-Gallon Pail — High-volume shops with heavy collegiate, Greek, and purple-dominant brand programs

Purple Pantone Targets LBX Violet Helps You Hit

Collegiate & Brand Purple

PMS 2685, 2695, 267, 268 — the benchmark collegiate purples used by major universities and Greek organizations; LBX Violet is the primary anchor for all of them.

Red-Violet & Plum

PMS 241, 248, 2593 — warm purple-reds and plum tones; mix LBX Violet + LBX Magenta for the full red-violet and plum range.

Blue-Violet & Periwinkle

PMS 2715, 2726, 7443 — cool blue-purple tones; mix LBX Violet + LBX Blue for the full periwinkle and blue-violet range.

Lavender & Pastel Purple

PMS 9360, 9380, 523 — soft lavenders and pastel purples; mix LBX Violet + significant LBX White with small adjustments for hue.

⚠ Purple Is the Most Demanding Color Family

Purple spans a wide hue range from red-violet to blue-violet. Small formula variations look dramatically different — a few grams off can shift a brand purple from the correct collegiate color toward plum or periwinkle. Always weigh every component on a gram scale accurate to 0.1g. Use the free formulator and make a test print before running any purple Pantone job.

⚠ Always Test Print Before Production

For collegiate and brand purple jobs, always do a test print on the actual garment substrate and compare it to the Pantone swatch under the same lighting the customer will see it under. Purple is notoriously sensitive to substrate tone, lighting conditions, and ink deposit thickness.

LBX 58888 Violet Is a Pantone Mixing Ink — Not Just a Color

This 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 instantly. No guessing. No waste. Repeatable run after run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is purple one of the most challenging colors to match in screen printing?

Purple sits between blue and red on the color wheel, which means the full purple Pantone family spans a wide hue range — from blue-violet (periwinkle) to red-violet (plum) with true purple in the middle. Small formula variations shift the result dramatically across this range. Collegiate purples are especially demanding because customers can immediately tell if the color is off. Always use the free formulator for exact ratios and always do a test print before running a brand purple job.

Can I print LBX 58888 straight from the container?

Yes — LBX Violet is a rich, saturated blue-violet straight out of the container. It prints well as a standalone spot color for jobs where an exact Pantone match isn’t required. For collegiate, Greek, or brand purple jobs that require Pantone accuracy, use the free formulator.

What’s the difference between LBX Violet and LBX Flo Purple?

LBX Violet is a standard plastisol mixing base for accurate Pantone purple matching — collegiate purples, brand violets, and fashion colors. LBX Flo Purple is a fluorescent mixing base for neon, UV-reactive purple — concert merch, rave apparel, and blacklight effects. They serve completely different purposes; standard purple jobs use Violet, neon/UV jobs use Flo Purple.

Is LBX Violet safe on polyester and performance wear?

Yes — full cure at 280°F is safe on polyester, tri-blends, and performance fabrics. This is especially important for the collegiate and Greek apparel markets where purple Pantone colors are printed on poly-blend performance garments regularly.
