Description

The Cool Side of Red.

The red family splits in two at Pantone level: warm reds (like PMS 485) come from LBX Red. Cool reds, pinks, and magentas — Rhodamine Red, Rubine Red, hot pinks, fuchsias — all come from LBX Magenta. If your customer’s brand color is any shade of pink, cool red, or magenta, this is the base you need. Part of the 15-color LBX Pantone Mixing System, it combines precisely with every other LBX base to hit Pantone targets by weight at a safe 280°F cure temp. Use the free LBX Pantone Color Formulator at formulator.screenprintsupplies.com to get exact mix ratios instantly.

Why LBX 48889 Magenta?

The Cool Red & Pink Anchor

Magenta sits on the cool side of red — the base for Rhodamine Red (PMS Rhodamine), Rubine Red (PMS Rubine), and every hot pink, fuchsia, and cool red in the Pantone library. LBX Red handles warm reds; LBX Magenta handles cool reds. Together they cover the entire red family.

The Full Pink Family

Hot pinks, bubblegum pinks, rose pinks, fuchsias — they all start with LBX Magenta as the dominant base, adjusted with White to lighten and Red or Violet to shift hue. The free formulator gives you exact ratios for any Pantone pink target.

Low Cure for Performance Fabrics

Full cure at 280°F means safe use on polyester, tri-blends, and athletic wear — including the performance fabrics and bright garments where pink and cool red brand colors are frequently requested.

Consistent Production Printability

Smooth, stable body from 86 to 160 mesh. Holds detail cleanly. Flashes without ghosting. Whether running a straight hot pink or a mixed Pantone cool red, it stays consistent across long production runs.

Available Sizes

  • QQuart (32 oz) — Good for shops adding cool red and pink mixing capability or running smaller brand jobs
  • GGallon (128 oz) — Standard production size for regular Pantone mixing across the pink and cool red spectrum
  • 55-Gallon Pail — High-volume shops with heavy brand, fashion, or athletic programs in the pink and cool red family

How to Mix with LBX 48889 Magenta

Step 1 — Get Your Formula

Go to formulator.screenprintsupplies.com, enter your Pantone pink or cool red target, and get exact gram-weight ratios. Magenta-dominant formulas often combine with White (to lighten), Red (to warm), or Violet (to push toward purple-pink).

Step 2 — Weigh Carefully

Use a digital gram scale accurate to 0.1g. Pink and cool red targets are visually sensitive — small formula variations shift the result between Rhodamine, hot pink, and rose. Never estimate by eye.

Step 3 — Mix Thoroughly

Mix until fully homogeneous. A paddle mixer on a drill gives the most consistent blend. Mix more than you need — re-mixing pink mid-job risks batch variation that shows clearly on press.

Step 4 — Cure at 280°F

Target 280°F internal ink temp. Verify with a donut probe. Do a stretch test and wash test before shipping customer orders.

Pink & Cool Red Pantone Targets LBX Magenta Helps You Hit

Rhodamine & Rubine Red

PMS Rhodamine Red, Rubine Red, 192, 199 — the classic cool red and process red targets that only LBX Magenta can anchor accurately

Hot Pink & Fuchsia

PMS 812, 806, 225, 232 — vivid hot pinks and fuchsias; LBX Magenta is the dominant base for the full bold pink range

Rose & Mid-Pink

PMS 218, 222, 236 — mid-range pinks and roses; mix LBX Magenta + LBX White with adjustments for the full rose and medium pink range

Pastel & Light Pink

PMS 9140, 9150, 698 — soft pastel pinks; mix LBX Magenta + significant LBX White for the full light pink and blush range

⚠ Know Your Red: Warm vs. Cool

Using LBX Red for a Rhodamine Red formula — or LBX Magenta for PMS 485 — produces an incorrect result. Warm reds and cool reds require different bases. Check the free formulator before mixing any red or pink Pantone; it will tell you exactly which base to use.

⚠ Pinks Are Visually Sensitive

The pink family is one of the most visually sensitive ranges in the Pantone system — small formula variations look dramatically different. Hot pink vs. rose vs. blush can all be a few grams apart. Always weigh every component on a gram scale accurate to 0.1g.

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

What’s the difference between LBX Magenta and LBX Red?

LBX Red anchors warm reds — PMS 485, 032, 200 and similar sports and brand reds. LBX Magenta anchors cool reds and the full pink family — Rhodamine Red, Rubine Red, hot pinks, fuchsias, and roses. If your Pantone target leans warm-red toward orange, use Red. If it leans cool-red toward pink or blue-red, use Magenta. The free formulator will tell you which base to use for any specific Pantone.

Can I print LBX 48889 straight from the container?

Yes — LBX Magenta is a rich, saturated magenta straight out of the container and works well as a standalone spot color. Its primary value is as the cool red and pink mixing base in the LBX system, but it performs fine as a straight magenta or hot pink for jobs where an exact Pantone match isn’t required.

Is LBX Magenta safe on polyester and performance wear?

Yes — full cure at 280°F is safe on polyester, tri-blends, and performance fabrics. This is especially relevant for athletic and fashion apparel where pink and cool red brand colors are frequently printed on poly-blend garments.

How do I use the free LBX Pantone Formulator?

Go to formulator.screenprintsupplies.com — no login required. Enter your Pantone target and get exact gram-weight ratios. Weigh on a digital scale accurate to 0.1g, mix thoroughly, and print.
