Looking for a good Orange ink
« on: December 21, 2014, 06:32:28 PM »
I went to order some "dolphin" orange ink a while back and they were out of what I had been using. Damn if I can remember what brand. Anyway he said we got some Wilflex poly one dolphin orange. They sent it but I don't care for it much on darks with undebase. Not real opaque. It seems to shift a little towards Tennessee Orange. What have you all used with good results?

The orange I currently have and use is Union Mixopake mixed to standard Union orange specs. Here in Giant country, you need that damn orange! They also have a Light Orange, and Texas Orange.

When I can, and a true orange is not called for, I try to use "Burnt Orange" from IC simply because I have three cans that were given to me. ;)

I believe it was Triangle come to think of it from graphic solutions.

Far and away the brightest, richest orange I've used.

Wilflex Bright Orange is what I switched to from dolphin.  Way better.

Triangle inks for spot colors all the way for us.  Haven't had an issue yet, get them direct from Triangle, and they print WOW great.
