0 Home Blog Dense vs. Neutral Black Dense vs. Neutral Black Nov 17th 2020 – by Charley Which black ink do you need? Well it depends on what you're going to be doing with it! You would think that black is black but not exactly....If you've looked around on the website you'll see that we offer 2 "Printing Blacks", our L.P. Dense Black and our Midnite Black. And they're both great blacks for printing solids or strong rich type. But if you were to try mixing certain colors with them you would wonder "where is the blue look coming from?" Most printing blacks use a blue toner to help them achieve their rich, dense look. So if you were trying to mix a Cool Gray #3 for example; and used a dense black, your color would likely come out way too blue. That's where Neutral or mixing black comes in, it has more of a gray or washed out look to it. Great for mixing but not so much for printing a nice deep black color. That said, if you're in a pinch and need to mix a color and all you have is your Dense Black you'll probably be okay-depending on the color you're mixing. And if you need to print a dense black and only have a tube of neutral black, maybe try mixing a little reflex blue in until we can get you some more heading your way. Happy Printing!

0 FAQ Q: How do you ship your orders? A: We currently ship the majority of our orders via USPS. The cost is fairly reasonable, and they usually get it there pretty quickly. We are working on setting up an option for expedited shipping on the website. Until then, you can reach out to us and we can quote you a price for other options. Q: What is your cut-off time for an order to be shipped the same day? A: Usually noon...but there are times when the mail guy shows up later in the afternoon or (unfortunately) earlier in the day. Rest assured, if we can get your order out the same day we receive it- We will. Remember though that federal holidays when the mail doesn't run will delay the order being shipped. Q: What are your inks made of? A: Our inks contain renewable vegetable oils and depending on the ink, a small percentage of petroleum oil. They clean up easily with mineral spirits or other mild solvents. Q: Will your inks mix with other brands/types of ink that I already have? A: Our inks mix readily with most other brands or types of ink. You may notice a small difference in certain properties (stay open, drying, etc.) depending on the percentage of Southern Inks that you mix with other on-hand inks. 501 W Powell Ln STE 401 Austin, TX 78753 5128359919 Navigation FAQ INK INFO About us Contact Us Blog Categories INK INK ADDITIVES Shop All SUPPLIES Stay Connected linkedin LinkedIn twitter Twitter Subscribe yourname@email.com APPLE PAY MERCHANT THEME BY PIXEL UNION, POWERED BY BIGCOMMERCE SITEMAP
