Reflex Blue is a SLOW drying ink
From my printing experience, I have first-hand knowledge
Reflex blue ink takes a long time to dry. Some printers say it never dries completely. If possible, choose an ink composed of fewer--rather than more--parts of Reflex blue.
Sometimes even moving one or two colors away from PMS 286, e.g. in your PMS book will make a positive difference. Note that your PMS book will usually show the proportions of various inks used in a particular PMS color.
Also, expect your job to take an extra day to dry if you use Reflex blue. This time isn't always needed, depending on the humidity, but it's better to be safe. --www.printingindustry.com.
A Comparison of Reflex Blue with other Blues
My experience working with Reflex Blue
For the past 9 years, I've worked for two companies which manufacture and supply pressroom products to the printing industry. I've designed layouts for marketing collateral and have worked with a company logo that called for several parts of ...Reflex Blue :: Pantone 286
That color, according to my Pantone formula guide calls for 12 parts of Pantone Reflex Blue to 4 parts of Pantone Pro. Blue. I can honestly say that out of 4 pieces of colateral that were printed at different times that no 2 ever completely matched with regards to the blue!
I asked an expert from the printing industry about Reflex Blue
... I didn't have to go too far to get an answer!
According to him, there is a chemical component in the dye that makes up the color that interacts with other chemicals in the printing / coating process. Aqueous coatings can cause a color shift.

Were you familiar with reflex blue, the color, and any difficulties with printing? Are you a fan of this color? What I want to know is this ... if it is difficult to achieve a true reflex blue color and/or it takes a while to dry, why are there so many logos using reflex blue???

- I confess Julie that when I saw the title of this lens I just got a HUGE SMILE on my face and then started laughing. The reason was because I thought to myself.. WOW how INVENTIVE of her! A lens on a certain color? YOU ROCK! Coming from an artist's perspective... of course I was drawn to it and thought too.. WELL YAY! Interesting that Reflex Blue is a SLOW drying ink.. wow, darn interesting. I know with oil painting some reds take forever to dry. I am going to pay more attention to some of my blues. Angel blessed.. for sure you are mega creative!

- Reflex blue is a very attractive color and sets off other things well if used in the background. Maybe that is why it's used so often in logos. Or, some logos use it because OTHER logos use it :-)
