6483 SuperFast Violet W
C.I.NO.PV3 Pigment Violet 3

P.V.3 provides a very bluish violet shade, which is considerably bluer than that of its counterparts P.V.1 and P.V.2. P.V.3 exhibits higher fastness properties than P.V.27. This is particularly true with respect to the lightfastness: 1/3 SD P.V.3 letterpress proof prints score approximately 1 1/2 steps higher on the Blue Scale than comparative P.V.27 prints. Similarly, P.V.3 is used primarily in printing inks, especially  in flexographic and packaging gravure printing inks. The list of suitable media also includes oil-based vehicle systems. Possible processing problems are referred to under P.V.2. US manufacturers also supply flushed pastes in which P.V.3 is dispersed in systems such as offset and letterpress vehicles or in mineral oil.
