The FormLabs color pigments are part of the FormLabs Color Kit - the first integrated color mixing solution for resin 3D printing. These pigments allow the users of the FormLabs 3D printers to achieve countless color variations by simply mixing a Color Base with pigments in specific amounts to create custom colors.

There are 5 different colors available in the pigment resin kit by FormLabs: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), Black (K) and White (W). Each pigment comes in a bottle of 115 ml and with a syringe of 10 ml. The FormLabs pigments can be used in different proportions (always reaching a total of 100 ml) to create different colors, as shown in the table below:

All 16 recipes are included in the FormLabs recipe book and on the FormLabs website. Apart from the 16 recipes prepared by FormLabs, the user can also use the custom mixer to obtain the proportions for almost infinite color variations.

The desired color can be picked from in the window on the left or by introducing the RGB or HEX code on the right. It should be kept in mind that the exact desired color may not be possible to achieve, and in that case the custom color picker provides an alternative in the form of an achievable color and its RGB and HEX codes. At the very bottom, the pigment recipe is provided with the exact amount of each of the pigments required to achieve the chosen color.

The FormLabs pigments are a great coloring solution for creating looks-like prototes, concept models and props or figurines, as they allow for a quick manufacturing of already colored parts, with a wide variety of achievable colors, with no need for tedious post processing, dyeing or painting. The color resins guarantee consistent color and a smooth surface finish, as well as great mechanical properties.

The user should always read the safety and technical datasheet before using the FormLabs pigments in order to get to know the material and prepare properly for its usage. Both the safety and the technical datasheet can be found in the Downloads section.

Like all resins, the pigment resins cure when exposed to light. In order to avoid the degradation of the pigments, each pigment bottle and syringe should be stored in its original resealable bag provided with the product when not used.

Storing the syringes and pigment bottles properly helps preserve resin quality and longevity

Each recipe requires exactly 100 ml of pigment and each syringe has a capacity of 10 ml. In order to correctly measure out the quantities of each pigment, the user should always take notes of the pigment quantities added to the base resin in order to ensure the color is right and that there is no more than 100 ml of pigment in total. The amount of pigment remaining in each bottle should also be noted down, for example on the bottle itself.

More tips on how to mix the pigments can be found in an article on the FormLabs website.

The FormLabs Color resins require 10 minutes in the FormWash and 30 minutes at 60 ºC in the FormCure (optional). It should be kept in mind that washing dark colored parts together with bright colored parts may result in color transfer.

It is highly recommended to use gloves and protective garments when handling the color resins as they may stain clothes and surfaces.
