Description

Infinity Series Red 032 — The True Primary Red

Infinity Red 032 is a complete ink. Open the container and print.

The Infinity Color Series is a comprehensive RFU mixing system — every color is ready for use straight from the bucket OR can be blended with other Infinity colors to create custom Pantone® shades. Follow the formulas in your Pantone Formula Guide directly — no CMS software, no computer, no pigment calculations. Weigh on a gram scale, mix, and print.

Infinity Red 032 is the true primary red in the Infinity system — neutral, neither warm nor cool. It is the starting point for most red Pantone formulas and appears in more red-family mixing recipes than any other color in the system. Blend with Yellow 012 for oranges and warm coral. Blend with Rubine Red for deeper crimson tones. Blend with Process Blue for purples. Add Trans White for pink pastels. Add Black for dark maroon and burgundy shades.

Red 032 vs. Warm Red vs. Rubine Red — Three Reds, Three Roles

Infinity Red Temperature Leans Toward Best For
Warm Red Warm Orange Scarlet, tomato, fire-engine red, warm coral
Red 032 (THIS PRODUCT) Neutral Neither — true neutral red Primary red, most red Pantone formulas, broadest mixing range
Rubine Red Cool Blue Crimson, cherry, wine, cool berry tones

When to choose Red 032: Use Red 032 when you need a true, neutral red — or when mixing Pantone formulas that call for “Red 032” by name. It is the most versatile red because it does not lean warm or cool, making it the ideal starting point that can be pushed in either direction by blending with Warm Red (warmer) or Rubine Red (cooler).

How to Match Pantone® Colors — Book Formulas, No Software

Step 1: Customer selects a Pantone color from your Pantone Formula Guide.

Step 2: Open the book to that color. The formula is printed right there — showing which colors to mix and at what ratios by weight.

Step 3: Weigh Infinity colors on a gram scale per the formula. Mix thoroughly in a clean container.

Step 4: Print a test swatch on your actual garment. Compare to the Pantone page. Adjust if needed. Run production.

On Light Garments — Direct Print

Print Infinity Red 032 directly on white or light-colored garments. No underbase needed on white. Semi-opaque formulation with matte surface appearance and ultra-soft hand feel. Cotton, cotton-poly blends, and polyester (with blocker).

On Dark Garments — Over White Underbase

On dark garments, print a white underbase first (flash-cure it), then print Infinity Red 032 on top. Use Under Base Blocker Gray (dark cotton) or Under Base Blocker Black LG (dark polyester/blends) under the white to prevent dye migration. Or use print-flash-print (two hits with a flash in between) for added opacity without a blocker.

Recommended Additives

Additive Dosage Production Problem It Solves
Retarder MG 1-3% Ink drying in the screen — extends open time.
Fixer WF-N 1-3% Improved wash fastness.
Softener MG 1-5% Better fabric penetration and softer hand feel.
Thickener B 0.25-1% Ink too thin — thickens viscosity.
RV Additive 1-3% Ink too thick — reduces viscosity.
Fixer L 1-3% Low-curing fabrics or electric dryers.
Quick Additive 6-9% All-in-one — Retarder MG + Fixer WF-N + Softener MG. One additive, three benefits. Recommended for most jobs.

Infinity Series vs. Alpha Series — What Is the Difference?

Spec Infinity Series (This Product) Alpha Series
Type RFU water-based hybrid acrylic. Semi-opaque. Matte finish. RFU water-based / dischargeable hybrid.
Discharge capable? NO — water-based only YES — add Discharge Activator for dark 100% cotton
Color matching Pantone book formulas — no software Pantone book formulas — no software
Finish Matte surface appearance Varies by color
Darks workflow Over white underbase with blocker Discharge mode OR over white underbase
Best for Light/medium garments. Shops that do not need discharge. Matte-finish fashion prints. Shops that need both water-based AND discharge capability from one ink system.

Need discharge capability? Choose the Alpha Series Red 032 C instead — same Pantone book workflow, same ease of use, but with the added ability to discharge on dark 100% cotton.

The Full Infinity Series Family — 17 Colors

Yellow 012 Primary yellow.
Orange 021 Primary orange.
Warm Red Warm, orange-leaning red.
Red 032 (THIS PRODUCT) True primary red.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need a separate base to print Infinity Red 032?

NO. Infinity Series inks are ready-for-use (RFU) — complete inks that print directly from the container. No base, no pigment calculations, no mixing software.

How do I match a Pantone® color?

Open your Pantone Formula Guide to the desired color. Follow the printed formula using Infinity Series colors and a gram scale. No software needed.

What is the difference between Red 032, Warm Red, and Rubine Red?

Red 032 is the true neutral primary red — it leans neither warm nor cool. Warm Red leans toward orange (scarlet, fire-engine tones). Rubine Red leans toward blue (crimson, cherry, wine tones). Red 032 appears in more Pantone red-family formulas than either Warm Red or Rubine Red because of its neutral position.

Can I print it on dark garments?

Yes — print over a white underbase with appropriate blocker. Or use print-flash-print for added opacity. Note: Infinity Series is NOT dischargeable — if you need discharge capability on dark cotton, use the Alpha Series Red 032 C instead.

Can I blend it with other Infinity colors?

Yes — all 17 Infinity colors can be blended in any combination. Red 032 is the most versatile red — blend with Yellow 012 for oranges, with Rubine Red for crimson, with Process Blue for purples, with Trans White for pink pastels, with Black for maroon and burgundy.

What is the difference between Infinity and Alpha Series?

Both are RFU mixing systems that use Pantone book formulas with no software. The key difference: Alpha Series is dischargeable (add activator for dark 100% cotton). Infinity Series is water-based only — it cannot discharge. Choose Alpha if you need discharge capability. Choose Infinity for water-based-only workflow with matte finish.

Can I use it on polyester?

Yes — with Under Base Blocker to prevent dye migration. On 100% cotton and cotton-poly blends, no blocker is needed on light garments.

What mesh should I use?

Up to 305 mesh.

What additives should I use?

Use Quick Additive (6-9%) for an all-in-one solution. Or individual additives: Retarder MG (1-3%), Fixer WF-N (1-3%), Softener MG (1-5%). Adjust viscosity with Thickener B (0.25-1%) or RV Additive (1-3%).
