For what it's worth, I was talking to a few guys and come to find out, Excalibur is the only ink Nike uses. . .so I've been told. . .

You may be surprised but Excalibur is not the only ink that Nike Uses..... Just saying, I might know another ink that they use! :)

Does that include free 5 gallon samples?  If so, I'll try all 3 whites.
For you Brad.... Of course... I’ll get them up there right away... ;)

Let us know when you have it, and make it affordable of course :)

I'm OK with a gallon samples  ;D

I sure will... And it looks like it should be...!!!

Are you sure you dont want 5 gallon samples... ;)

Homer:  I hate to create any negativity, but you should seriously doubt the honesty of anyone who tells you that Excalibur is an exclusive ink supplier to Nike, and/or their network of authorized sub-contract garment screen-printers.  I know with absolute certainty of at least one Nike sub-contractor that is using the Excalibur Evolution (PVC-Free) inks on a Nike program, but for Excalibur to claim that they "own" all of the ink business with Nike is not true.

Yeah... They didn’t tell me anything like that either... ;)

Just adds a lil bit of credibility (in my mind) that they are using any at all...!!!

If it is good enough for Nike, it’s good enough for Spot Color Supply!!!  ;D

We did it... Pulled the trigger!!!!

Excalibur Ink should be in some time end of next week or the beginning of the following week!!

We will be offering 50+ standard colors, 3 whites (for now), and a black.

We brought in the 50/50 Plus White, Arctic White, and Miracle White (100% Poly).

A scale is on the way, buckets and lids are on order, and we are picking up the mixer next week.  We also ordered 120 ink spatulas with wooden handles... Do I smell a promo coming  ;)

Sometime next week the ink category will go live on our site. It is already done; just don’t want any orders before we are ready.

We were talking about putting together sample kits, what do you guys think should be included in the kits? Be reasonable, we are po folks here, and a 5 gallon sample (Brad) is tough....  ;D

Any feedback is appreciated!!

As I believe that I have mentioned, Lancer would be well served getting wider distribution of their Excaliber inks.

I was impressed with the Black and Arctic White that I got as a bonus when I bought some stuff from now-defunct Aaron in SoCal. I only wish that I had gotten less black, and more white, but was hesitant to take a chance with an unknown, as whites can be so quirky and up to personal taste and demands.


I can only assume and hope that you can also help in the process of ordering Excaliber products that you don't  (or won't) normally stock, as they have a full line.

We will be happy to assist in ordering any products that we don’t stock. As our relationship with Lancer develops we should be able to give accurate lead times in these types of products (They come from Canada). This first order is just to get us going; as time goes by we hope to bring in many of their specialty inks and bases.

Ink should be a huge milestone for our company; we will be adding Chemistry (Saati and Easyway), Spray Tack, Pallet Mask, Spot Fluids/Guns, and all of the other odds and ends over the next 6 months. By the middle of next year Spot Color Supply will be a "one stop shop" for printers in the south-east and hopefully nationwide!!
