Gamblin 1980 Oil - PR122 Quinacridone Magenta

Gamblin’s approach is different. 1980 colours contain pure pigments, the finest refined linseed oil, and marble dust (calcium carbonate). Since oil painting began, these three ingredients have made more affordable colours.

Painters experience true colours without homogenized texture or muddy colour mixtures. Gamblin's approach to using traditional raw materials and processes ensures that artists experience the luscious working properties they expect from their oil colours.

Quinacridone Magenta: Coolest quinacridone red. It makes high-key tints and, in mixtures, makes beautiful transparent violets.

Quinacridone pigments generally have relatively low tinting strength. For this reason, quinacridone colours are often expensive because more pigment is required in the formulation.

PIGMENT COMPOSITION AND PERMANENCE
  • Pigment Name: PR122 Quinacridone Magenta
  • Pigment Type: organic, quinacridone
PROPERTIES

Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent, robust bluish-red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing colour and is one of the bluest Quinacridone colours. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground.

Quinacridone pigments generally have relatively low tinting strength. For this reason, quinacridone colours are often expensive because more pigment is required in the formulation.

PERMANENCE

Quinacridone Magenta offers excellent lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolour form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of the fair under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment from very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments generally have more problems with lightfastness than any different range of colours.

PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four-colour) process printing because it offers a better trade-off between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.

TOXICITY

Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinacridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.

HISTORY

Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard colour name for a deep, violet red.

Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, manufacturing methods to make them practical for use as commercial pigments began in the 1950s.

PR122 has become particularly popular in formulating Magenta for CMYK process printing.
