Deeper shades, greys, and high-contrast colour — printed, not painted

Black Pigment is designed for the Formlabs Color Kit workflow. Add measured pigment to Color Base Resin, mix thoroughly, and print colour parts without the manual work of painting, dyeing, or finishing.

Use Black Pigment to darken recipes, create neutral greys, and produce high-contrast parts for colour coding, branding, and visual prototypes.

Tip: Need lighter tints? Pair with White Pigment to create lighter shades of Color Resin. (White Pigment is also included in some dental starter packs for gingiva mask workflows.)

Why choose Black Pigment?

Print colour parts without finishing

Achieve darker shades and high contrast directly from the printer — no painting, dyeing, or post-colouring steps.

Integrated Color Kit workflow

Designed to work with Formlabs Color Base Resin and Color Kit recipes for repeatable shade control.

Better greys + deeper tones

Use Black Pigment to deepen colours, create neutral greys, and improve contrast in visual models and prototypes.

How it works

  1. Select a recipe (shade) for Color Resin.
  2. Measure pigment using the included syringe (or your validated measuring method).
  3. Add pigment to Color Base Resin in the cartridge.
  4. Mix thoroughly (shake per guidance) until uniform.
  5. Print as normal using the recommended Color Base/Color Resin workflow.

Best practice: Keep your pigment workflow consistent (measurement + mixing time) to improve shade repeatability across batches.

Applications

Black Pigment is ideal when you want darker colour output and strong visual contrast.

  • Colour prototypes and presentation models
  • Colour coding, fixtures, and visual identifiers
  • Product mockups and form/fit models with darker tones
  • High-contrast labels, icons, and embossed/engraved features
  • Dental/medical model accessories where darker shades improve visibility (workflow dependent)

Note: Final appearance can vary with recipe, geometry, and lighting. Validate for your specific use.

Workflow notes

  • Use only Color Kit pigments with Color Base Resin to avoid cartridge/tank contamination risks.
  • Mix completely before printing — incomplete mixing can cause streaking or inconsistent shade.
  • Stay consistent with measurement and mixing to improve repeatability.
  • Confirm compatibility for your printer on the official resin compatibility list.
