Is Pigment Paste Yellow 42 suitable for water-based inks?

It depends on the carrier and dispersant system used — some paste formulations are optimized for water-based systems; always run compatibility and fastness tests.

Can the paste be converted to a powder?

Powdering of paste is a complex process and may change dispersion and safety properties. We generally recommend using a paste or ordering a dry pigment specifically processed for powder use.
