Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Bumping back upAfter decent success with 4c process discharge over the years using Sericol their has never been a need to change, but recently after some research, reading this thread I realize there may be other options. I have had some great conversations with Dave at ATLAS screen supply. They are a distributor for the virus inks. He is sending samples ( 2 quarts each) of the process colors and a gallon of white for testing. The interesting part of all this is Virus prefers to do the process seps as they claim they perform better with their inks. That makes sense they developed the inks and know exactly how there separations will perform with the inks. They do the first set N/C and then its 45.00 per design after. They are doing their best to ensure success using the process colors. They request a template to use the same exact registration marks , mesh and any other info we use in house so nothing changes in pre press. We have 15 designs to sample next week and I will post my feedback after the first 2 (that's all we submitted for separations until I see the result) if anyone is interested.

I'd like to see what they do differently. . .pierre

And while I love the concept, I think you all are brave running DC 4CP, sounds like recipe for heartache unless your blanks are dyed to spec. We do DC UB + Union process plastisol for this type of work here, hand is still very soft and far more consistent.
I see, so is it like an HSA or trad WB ink? Base - flash - white - flash - Y - M - C - K ?
