Pigment concentrate + binder = Screen printing ink
That is Printcolor's module principle. This principle allows you to produce Series 384, 386, 387 and 388 at your location. Simply mix an MS basic color of Series 388 with a series-specific binder and manufacture the color series with the characteristics needed - and always stay flexible.

Pigment concentrates
The pigment concentrates are the basis of our mixing system. Concentrates are available in four different categories:
| Category | Description | Number of colors |
| HP | Highly pigmented | 12 plus black/white |
| HR | Highly thermostable | 10 plus black/white |
| HT | Highly transparent | 13 plus black/white |
| OR | Outdoor-resistant | 12 plus black/white |
In total, 24 different MS basic colors are available.

Binders
In order to mix a properly functioning screen printing ink, a series-specific functional binder must be used. This binder carries the product characteristics of the Series to be produced.
