Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I use a lot of Union, much of it Ultrasoft, and have not really experienced this, but perhaps you should spring for some PLUS-9114, Union's thickening paste, as John S. suggested a year ago in this very thread when Wayne described his Union Black as too runny.
A little curious as to it's storage conditions, like was it especially warm at the time? Was it stirred well? Is this new from Union or part of a good deal on Craigslist?I suggest that tomorrow, you call and talk to a tech and asked if this is typical with that color or perhaps they know of a problem batch.
Digging this up from the grave.We are having issues with the very runny nature of the Union Soft Ink... notably the blues (Mono Blue being the last one we really used). It became quite runny and was giving my printer hell of getting it all over the place. Granted I didn't see how he was handling it but I know he got to the point of taping the outside of the frames so when it would get nasty he would just pull off the tape and retape.

He should be able to handle a wide range of ink viscosities and stay clean. You should be shadowing him some and see what his issue is. I have had guys that just look at ink and get it on them selves and some like me and never get it on their hands.
