Custom Color Terms

Pantone colors are based on the printed and dried ink color, not the color of the ink in the container. When you receive an ink the color in the container may look darker than what the pantone chart shows. Make sure you test the ink and let it dry before comparing it to your pantone book.
Always test before printing.
There are no refunds on custom colors.

Description

You Choose the Base and the Pantone Color — We Do the Rest

This is the simplest way to get a precise Pantone®-matched Matsui water-based or discharge ink: tell us what Pantone code you need, select the Matsui base that fits your job, and we mix it in-house using the Matsui Dispenser System and ship it ready to print.

No pigment calculations. No CMS software. No buying Neo Pigments and bases separately. No mixing on your end. Open the container and print.

How to Order

Step 1: Select your Matsui base from the dropdown on this page. Not sure which base? See the base guide below.

Step 2: Enter your Pantone® code (e.g., PMS 186 C, PMS 294 C, PMS 349 C) in the order notes.

Step 3: Select your size and add to cart.

Step 4: We mix your custom color in-house using the Matsui Dispenser System with Neo Pigments and your selected base, matched to the official Matsui CMS formula for your Pantone code.

Step 5: We ship it. You open the container and print.

The Matsui Dispenser System — How Your Color Gets Mixed

River City Supply uses the Matsui Dispenser System — a precision ink dispensing system that automatically measures and dispenses exact quantities of Neo Pigments into your selected base according to the CMS (Color Matching Software) formula for your Pantone code. This is the same technology used by Matsui dealers worldwide for repeatable, accurate Pantone matching. The system eliminates human measurement error and ensures batch-to-batch consistency — every container of the same Pantone code mixed in the same base will match.

Which Base Should I Choose?

The base determines the ink’s finish, stretch, opacity, mesh range, and substrate compatibility. Choose the base that matches your job requirements:

Matsui Base	Finish	Best For	Mesh	Substrates
STANDARD ACRYLIC 301 BASES — Softest Hand, Highest Mesh
301C Clear	Clear / translucent	Softest possible hand. Fine detail. Tone-on-tone. Fashion prints.	Up to 305	Light cotton, cotton-poly (w/ blocker)
301M Matte	Semi-opaque matte white	Higher opacity than 301C. Matte finish. Custom colors with more coverage.	Up to 305	Light cotton, cotton-poly (w/ blocker)
STRETCH / PERFORMANCE BASES — Athletic Wear, Dri-Fit, Spandex Blends
Stretch Clear	Clear / translucent	Performance wear. Athletic. Stretch recovery. Soft hand.	Up to 305	Performance fabrics, Dri-Fit, cotton-poly
Stretch Mat	Semi-opaque matte	Same stretch as Stretch Clear, with more coverage/opacity.	Up to 305	Performance fabrics, Dri-Fit, cotton-poly
EasyPrint Clear	Clear / translucent	Printer-friendly performance base. Smooth printability. High stretch.	Up to 305	Performance fabrics, Dri-Fit, cotton-poly
EasyPrint Mat	Semi-opaque matte	Same printability as EasyPrint Clear, with more coverage.	Up to 305	Performance fabrics, Dri-Fit, cotton-poly
Soft Stretch Clear	Clear / translucent	Softest stretch base. Premium athletic and fashion applications.	Up to 230	Performance fabrics, high-stretch garments
DISCHARGE BASES — Dark 100% Cotton, Dye Removal, Softest Hand
Brite Discharge Base	Clear discharge	Brightest, most vibrant discharge colors. Low mesh. Dark 100% cotton.	Up to 160	100% cotton (dischargeable dyes only)
HM Discharge Base	Clear discharge	High mesh discharge. Finer detail than Brite. Dark 100% cotton.	Up to 230	100% cotton (dischargeable dyes only)

Not sure? Start with 301C Clear for soft prints on light cotton. Start with EasyPrint Clear for athletic/performance fabrics. Start with Brite Discharge Base for dark cotton.

Need a clear vs. matte base? Clear bases (301C, Stretch Clear, EasyPrint Clear, Soft Stretch Clear) are translucent — colors appear vibrant but show the garment color through the ink. Matte bases (301M, Stretch Mat, EasyPrint Mat) are semi-opaque — more coverage, more color density, with a matte finish.

⚠️ Important — Read Before Ordering

Pantone color is based on the PRINTED AND DRIED ink color, not the wet ink in the container. The ink in the container will appear darker than the final printed result. This is normal. To verify accuracy, print a test swatch on your actual garment, cure it fully at 320°F (160°C), and compare the dried print to your Pantone book.

Always test before production. Garment type, fabric color, mesh count, ink deposit, and cure settings all affect the final printed color. A test print on your actual garment is essential.

Custom colors are mixed in-house. Allow an additional day for shipping beyond our standard shipping policy. We make every effort to ship promptly, but immediate dispatch is not guaranteed.

No refunds on custom colors. Custom Pantone mixes are specifically tailored to your order and cannot be returned or refunded.

Discharge Base Orders — What You Need to Know

If you select Brite Discharge Base or HM Discharge Base, your custom Pantone color will be mixed into the discharge base with Neo Pigments — but it will NOT include Discharge Activator. You must add Discharge Activator (3-8%) yourself before printing.

⚠️ Discharge rules apply:

100% cotton with dischargeable (reactive) dyes only.

12-hour pot life once activator is added. Only activate what you need for the day’s production.

Cure at 320°F (160°C). Colors shift during curing — the dried color will differ from the wet ink.

Ventilation recommended.

Water-resistant emulsions required. Chromaline CPTex or Hydro-X recommended.

Custom Mixed vs. DIY — Why Order Custom?

Spec	Custom Mixed (This Product)	DIY with Neo Pigments + Base	DIY with Alpha Series
Mixing required?	NONE — ships ready to print	Yes — you buy base + pigments + mix yourself	Yes — you weigh and blend Alpha colors
Equipment needed?	NONE	Gram scale, CMS software, clean mixing tools	Gram scale, Pantone book, clean mixing tools
Software needed?	NONE — we use CMS for you	CMS Software required	No — uses Pantone book formulas
Base selection?	Choose ANY Matsui base	Choose any Matsui base	N/A — Alpha IS the ink (no base choice)
Color accuracy	Matsui Dispenser System — automated precision	Depends on your scale accuracy and technique	Depends on your scale accuracy and technique
Best for	One-off jobs. Quick turnaround. No inventory. Guaranteed accuracy.	High-volume shops mixing daily. Full inventory of pigments + bases.	Shops that want simplicity + flexibility to mix on demand.

Prefer to Mix Your Own?

If you prefer to mix Pantone colors yourself, two Matsui systems are available:

Neo Pigment Set — 13 pigment concentrates. Mix into any Matsui base. Use CMS Software for Pantone formulas. Maximum flexibility — 20+ bases, custom finishes, stretch, discharge.

Alpha Series Starter Kit — 16 ready-for-use mixing inks. Use Pantone book formulas directly. No software, no separate base. Simplest possible workflow.

⚠️ Contamination Warning

All custom Pantone colors are mixed in clean vessels using clean equipment. Do NOT contaminate the ink after delivery by mixing with non-Matsui products, non-approved additives, or using dirty tools. Contamination may cause the ink to test positive for restricted PVCs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I order a custom Pantone color?

Select your Matsui base from the dropdown, enter your Pantone® code (e.g., PMS 186 C) in the order notes, choose your size, and add to cart. We mix it in-house and ship it ready to print.

Which base should I choose?

For soft prints on light cotton: 301C Clear (translucent) or 301M Matte (semi-opaque). For athletic/performance fabrics: EasyPrint Clear, EasyPrint Mat, Stretch Clear, or Stretch Mat. For dark 100% cotton (discharge): Brite Discharge Base or HM Discharge Base. See the base comparison chart on this page for a detailed breakdown.

Why does the ink in the container look darker than my Pantone swatch?

This is completely normal. Pantone color accuracy is based on the PRINTED AND DRIED ink color — not the wet ink in the container. The wet ink will always appear darker. To verify accuracy: print a test swatch on your actual garment, cure it fully at 320°F (160°C), and compare the dried print to your Pantone book.

Do I need to add anything before printing?

For water-based bases (301C, 301M, Stretch, EasyPrint, Soft Stretch): No — the ink ships ready to print. Optional additives like Retarder MG (1-3%) or Quick Additive (6-9%) can be added for improved screen open time and wash fastness. For discharge bases (Brite, HM): You MUST add Discharge Activator (3-8%) before printing. Activator is not included.

How long does shipping take?

Custom Pantone colors are mixed in-house, which may require an additional day beyond standard shipping. We make every effort to ship promptly, but immediate dispatch is not guaranteed since each color is mixed to order.

Can I return or get a refund on a custom color?

No — custom Pantone mixes are specifically tailored to your order and cannot be returned or refunded. Always test on your actual garment before committing to a production run.

Can I print this on dark garments?

Yes, three ways: (1) Discharge base — order with Brite or HM Discharge Base, add activator, print on dark 100% cotton. (2) Water-based over white underbase — order in any base, print over a white underbase with appropriate blocker. (3) Print-flash-print — two hits with a flash in between for added opacity.

What is the difference between Clear and Matte bases?

Clear bases (301C Clear, Stretch Clear, EasyPrint Clear, Soft Stretch Clear) are translucent — the ink color is vibrant but the garment color shows through. Best for light-colored garments. Matte bases (301M Matte, Stretch Mat, EasyPrint Mat) are semi-opaque — more ink coverage, more color density, with a flat matte finish. Better for medium garments or when you need more opacity.

Can I reorder the same custom color later?

Yes — order the same Pantone code in the same Matsui base, and we will mix it using the same CMS formula on the same Matsui Dispenser System. The formula is standardized, so batch-to-batch consistency is built into the system.

What if I want to mix my own colors instead?

Two options: (1) Neo Pigment Set — buy pigments and bases separately, mix with CMS software. Maximum flexibility. (2) Alpha Series Starter Kit — ready-for-use inks, mix using Pantone book formulas directly. No software, no separate base.
