What happened?
Prusa has introduced a new translucent PLA family designed for its ColorMix workflow. The goal is to create up to 45 different color shades from five base spools using halftoning on multi-color printers.
Key details
- ColorMix is available through EasyPrint and PrusaSlicer.
- The method visually mixes colors using a halftoning-style approach similar to 2D printing.
- The new bundle includes five translucent base colors intended for mixing.
- Prusa also added glitter and vivid PLA options alongside the ColorMix range.
Why it matters
One limitation of multi-color FDM is that the number of real colors usually follows the number of loaded filaments. ColorMix tries to expand the palette through optical mixing rather than simply adding more spools.
