OD Green Ink

Post by knltees »

Where can I find OD Green Plastisol ink without having it custom mixed? Does any supplier sell it?

Wrong topic. Post this in the Using Plastisol Ink thread please. Or wait for Jonathon to move it.

I think you are looking for an “Army green” or an olive green type color. If you can’t find a close match premixed you would need to find an ink vendor or perhaps a print supplier that mixes custom ink colors. Or you could consider mixing it yourself.

I might take a lighter brown ink and mix it with a darker green like Kelly green or something similar. I would add the green to the brown maybe. But it can be difficult to mix an appropriate amount of ink this way. Often times you can end up with more than you need. You may be able to do some small tests to get an idea of a proper ratio.
