Nice red! Looks like our 606 (our#) red. When we did our original formulas no pantone formulas existed. Most of my formulas contain 2-3 pigments. I know this will come across as bragging and it is.......all the ink companies instructed printers to activate everything by 6% or it wouldn't work. I was the one who informed them that this actually compromises some colors. I said it!
I also invented Blue!
You guys overloading your CCI reds- how are the prints coming out after wash testing and how much are you overloading?I know CCI has 30% as the ceiling in their lit which is pretty high.

Believe me, after wash number five, I was overjoyed when it was still a rich red. We overload the pigments by about 2x. We have 3 different reds and they vary slightly. Way less than 30% though. That'd be some luxury DC dumping all that pigment in!
