One Stroke ink...PFP no base
Get the ink that requires no base. I just got some of thier Hybrid white and it cost a little more but it is sweet. You know the problems with finding a good all around white :( Like ya'll I have tried them all. By the way I have 2 gall. of Xenon white I got from Sonny I can sell to anyone at a good price if ya interested.

I didn't care for the hybrid white at all.  It has blowing agent in it.  I HATE that they do that.  If I wanted it, I would add it myself.  I effing hate blowing agent in my ink.

I will post up soe of the results when I get to the shop today.  Thanks to Dan and Dennis I was able to get some samples out on the short norice dealine I had.  As you will see....  when I did just the lime green on the black it was just not covering they way I would have liked.  I tried a white underfbase but it muddied up the design a little.  Now white ink on the black tees and lime ink on white tees turned out perfect.  The client wants to redo the art a little from scratch so I should be able to use corel and redo the fades pretty easily.  I really have to learn photoshop and illustrator a little better...

I tried a white under base but it muddied up the design a little.

That sounds odd.  A white under base would do everything (except muddy it up).  As George Carlin once said, "Something has gone a foul inside of the tomato, it just doesn't look right".

I would normally agree 100% Dan, but I've used some flouro inks that pretty much suck.
They just don't play well with others, heh.
Likely the low mesh I'm driving them, and the base, through.
