Mixing Systems and Mixing Bases

Rutland™ offers two robust color mixing systems, Rutland M3 AND C3 Ink Systems, that allow screen printers to mix to hundreds of Pantone®-simulated colors.  

Rutland M3 Ink System, Rutland’s most popular mixing system, is an easy-to-use, highly accurate finished ink mixing system with excellent on-press performance. Rutland C3 Ink System is a single pigmented color system, compatible with a variety of mixing bases to achieve strict color matching requirements.

Rutland mixing inks are available for use on IMS 3.0, a proprietary color formulation software from Avient Specialty Inks. IMS manages daily maneuvers in a highly functional ink room by providing color management and communication agility, offering tools for color creation and standardizing.
