Are you using 50% d-white as in 50% of how much white pigment or is it 50% of the total mix including base? I am also less a few shirts on an order due to this and even more shirts are a slightly different tone due to not all of the pigment mixing in.

50% of the called for weight from the formula. If the formula calls for 100 grams of white pigment you do 50grams d-white

Anyone else do this also? Is it exactly 50 percent?

I got lucky again with the old pigment. I will have to try the d-white thing on a personal project before going prime time with it. Though I would prefer to just have the stuff come out of that squeezy bottle the way it should. I noticed the batch number looks like a date and the new stuff if almost a year old. I am going to have a chat about this with ryonet, they should have newer stock than that.

The premix white has a similar kind of batch number and is only about three months old. I imagine they get a lot more call for premix white than the pigment.

test it - but i normally double up on the formula --- if it calls for 100 grams of pigment - i do 200 grams of d white.
