Printcolor Moves Ink Formulation Online with easyMEMO 2.0

02 September 2026: Printcolor has introduced the easyMEMO 2.0 colour formulation tool, a browser-based system available through its dedicated online portal. The Swiss ink company had published the new version on its website by 31 August 2026. Eligible printing-ink businesses can now create, review and adapt recipes without installing desktop software.

What does the easyMEMO 2.0 colour formulation tool offer ?

According to the official easyMEMO 2.0 page, the system runs fully in a web browser and requires no download or installation. Companies must complete a free registration before they can use it, and Printcolor limits access to businesses in the printing-ink industry.

The online system includes guided tours and tutorials inside its user interface. Users can browse thousands of inks from Printcolor’s ink series, build their own formulations and add components used within their operations. The interface supports German, English, Spanish and French.

Why does browser-based ink formulation matter ?

A browser-based system gives company staff one place to retrieve and edit recipes without maintaining a separate desktop installation. That approach already appears elsewhere in print production: X-Rite’s cloud ink formulation platform combines formulation records with quality-control functions.

Siegwerk and X-Rite have also moved colour matching to the cloud for label and packaging printers. easyMEMO 2.0 takes a narrower, clearly stated route. Printcolor confirms access to its ink-series database, custom recipes and user-added components, but it does not publish measured claims for waste reduction, setup speed or colour accuracy.

How can printers use the formulation database ?

Users can start with Printcolor ink-series data, then create formulations suited to their own production needs. The option to add in-house components may help a company keep recurring recipes together, although operators still need physical tests and normal production controls before approving a colour for a job.

The database can support teams working across Printcolor’s wider ink range. For example, the company’s Series 420 screen printing ink is sold as a mixing system.

Recipe software manages formulation information; equipment such as an automated ink dispensing system handles a different, physical stage of colour preparation. Results will still depend on the printer’s materials, controls and working practices.
