Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix different brands of ink?
While technically possible, we recommend staying within the same brand's carrier system to ensure consistent chemical stability and pigment suspension.
How do I save a custom color recipe?
Use the 'Export Mix' feature to generate a text string or QR code that you can store in your client's CRM file.
What is the best diluent for gray-wash?
We recommend a professional-grade mixing solution or distilled water. Avoid tap water to maintain sterility.
Does this tool work for PMU pigments?
Yes, the volumetric ratio logic applies to all fluid-suspension pigments, including permanent makeup.
How do I prevent color shift during healing?
Our 'Dermal Filter' preview simulates how pigments look under the epidermis, helping you choose higher-saturation ratios if needed.
