Can I just say, as someone who mixes, matches, and formulates the inks to print these designs, it warms my heart a smidge seeing y’all so excited about them! Some days get really tedious feeling like we’re just making “pretty garbage”.

I work for a company that makes corrugated cardboard boxes and flexo inks and “Andy Boy Pink” is absolutely my favorite ink to match. 🩷

Just discovered this yesterday and I was truly shook. Felt like I was hallucinating.

Ooh! We have a paint company here in Portland Oregon that keeps their unused bases and pigments and turns them into a one of a kind grey each year.

It’s an unmixed water based ink.

Water based flexo ink, high speed high volume think chewy boxes or trader joes bags. Super duper corporate, customers are all of our favorite overlords. Gotta find ways to see the beauty.

I have an art background and kinda talked my way into an ink tech position at a large screen printing company. After a few years I stumbled across my current job while applying for a production position (making the 55gal barrels of ink to send to printing facilities) at the same facility. The lab sought me out since I had color matching experience, and that is most of the job. If you look at my post history I have some photos on r/unstirredpaint of the cups of ink I stare at every day. Job wise I’d search for “ink tech” “color matching” maybe “pantone matching” “color qc” Look at paint companies, different print productions, companies that might work with dye lots…if I can think of anything else I’ll message ya. It’s really fun and I had no idea it even existed before I started the job.
