Finally, an artist products manufacturer who understands both the artist and retailer!
Chartpak has developed a line of Grumbacher collegiate acrylics that maximizes the color gamut with the fewest number of SKUs -48 colors. Retailers will have increased turns as the line has virtually all “A” and “B” selling items. You will not find different values of the same or similar hue in our line. What you will find are 48 highly pigmented colors. Chartpak reformulated its existing 24 colors and added 24 new colors with a new single base, so that the flow and drying are more consistent.
Most importantly, all 48 colors have an ASTM lightfast rating of “1” or excellent. Even professionals can use Academy Acrylics with confidence knowing of the high level of permanence built into our product. We engineered the line to this lightfast level because you never know when an artist will paint their masterpiece. How many artists do you know that wish they had used better materials when they were young? Academy Acrylic users will not be one of them in the future.
Chartpak developed brilliant new process colors which make rich secondary and tertiary colors, and also added two metallic colors that really shimmer.
Grumbacher Academy Acrylics are available in 90ml traditional metal tubes and in exciting contemporary designed 75ml plastic tubes. Fifteen colors are offered in 200ml plastic tubes. Best of all are the prices. 75ml $4.75, 90ml $5.60 and 200ml $9.95. And finally, Grumbacher paints are all proudly manufactured and tubed in the United States.
