Does anyone have any idea why the CCI would be so much more abrasive/caustic to the HVP emulsion?

mimosatexas,

May I suggest you try a CCI emulsion for better results. Try TX-Discharge or WR-14, they will not break down with our ink. The info for each product is below.

WR-14 http://www.ccidom.com/products.php?product=WR%252d14-WATER-RESIST-EMULSION

TX-Discharge http://www.ccidom.com/products.php?product=TX%252dDISCHARGE-WATER-RESIST-EMULSION

I'll dote on the WR-14, love that stuff.

That said, the Aquasol had never let us down either.

I really do love the Aquasol, but I'm surprised that no other brand of ink eats away at it the way the CCI does.  I have even printed solvent and epoxy inks through it before in small runs without issue.  I'll order some WR14, I see that tossed around on the boards often enough to trust it.

did some more testing today with WR14, and unless you have SUPER strong light source, FORGET IT!  You will be exposing til the cows come home to get it right.

mimo, try the tx-discharge. it's almost exactly like hpv, we used to use hvp for a while then switched over to tx because I could get it local.. been on it for about 2 years, it's awesome. same price point too, around 55/gal...

WR-14 8) I have had very good luck & not a lot of added time on burning for us, but that's just us. Using CCI base & PC. I have some Xenon Nova but I have not had the proper spot to give a shot, but that's another subject.

I properly cured the inks, so my wash test saw no appreciable difference in opacity change across brands.  I have only washed it once though at this point.  The CCI and Matsui
"ideal" mixes had a similar hand (essentially no hand).
