Description
The Warm Spectrum Workhorse.
Athletic programs live on yellow and gold. School spirit apparel, collegiate licensing, sports teams — the yellow and gold Pantone family is one of the most-requested in screen printing. Inktek LBX 88888 Yellow is the single base that covers all of it: bright school yellows, rich athletic golds, warm lime bridges, and everything in between. Part of the 15-color LBX Pantone Mixing System, it combines predictably with every other LBX base to hit Pantone targets by weight. Fully cures at 280°F for safe use on performance fabrics. Use the free LBX Pantone Color Formulator at formulator.screenprintsupplies.com to get exact mix ratios instantly.
Why LBX 88888 Yellow?
Add LBX Orange to shift warm toward gold and burnt yellow. Add LBX Green for lime and yellow-green targets. Add LBX White to hit pastel yellows and cream tones. LBX Yellow is the anchor of the warm spectrum in the LBX system.
LBX 88888 is a precision mixing base — weigh your components on a gram scale, follow the LBX formula, and get a repeatable Pantone match every time. The free formulator at formulator.screenprintsupplies.com handles all the math.
Full cure at 280°F means safe use on polyester, tri-blends, and athletic wear — the primary substrates in the collegiate and sports apparel market where yellow and gold are most in demand.
Smooth, stable body that holds detail from 86 to 160 mesh. Doesn’t go soupy in a warm pressroom. Flashes cleanly without ghosting — whether running a straight yellow or a mixed Pantone gold.
Available Sizes
- QQuart (32 oz) — Good for shops adding yellow mixing capability or running smaller athletic and spirit jobs
- GGallon (128 oz) — Standard production size for shops with regular Pantone mixing and athletic programs

Printing with LBX 88888 Yellow
Go to formulator.screenprintsupplies.com, enter your Pantone target, and get exact gram-weight ratios for each LBX base needed. No guessing, no waste.
Use a digital gram scale accurate to 0.1g. Accuracy here is what separates a consistent Pantone match from a close miss — don’t estimate by eye.
Mix until fully homogeneous — no streaks or color variation. A paddle mixer on a drill makes this fast and consistent. Mix more than you need to avoid batch variation mid-job.
Target 280°F internal ink temp. Verify with a donut probe. Do a stretch test and wash test before shipping customer orders.
Yellow & Gold Pantone Targets LBX 88888 Helps You Hit
PMS 109, 116, 123 — bright school yellows and varsity yellows; mix LBX Yellow + small amounts of Orange for the warmest school golds
PMS 130, 137, 143 — rich collegiate golds; mix LBX Yellow + LBX Orange for the deep warm gold range used in major athletic programs
PMS 382, 390, 396 — fresh lime and yellow-green; mix LBX Yellow + LBX Green for the full lime-to-chartreuse spectrum
PMS 9121, 9122, 9123 — soft pastel yellows and warm creams; mix LBX Yellow + significant LBX White for light-value warm tones
LBX formulas are weight-based. Measuring by volume introduces errors that throw off color matches — especially in gold and yellow tones where small shifts look dramatically different on press. Use a digital gram scale for every mix.
Re-mixing yellow or gold mid-job risks batch variation that shows in side-by-side comparison. Calculate your ink needs, add 20% buffer, and mix it all in one batch before the job starts.
