Super thin Quick white....Why me....
« on: April 03, 2015, 03:09:00 PM »
I just got a 5 of quick that I hate. It is so thin. I just ran a manual job with it and I had to P/F/P/F/P to get a 100% white. Its so thin that I can easily push my mixer to the bottom of the bucket.  It penetrates the shirt easily. I mixed it good and the bottom is just as thin.

Is this a bad bucket or what...

I noticed our last fives were thin as well. But it is warm here.

This is really thin. I haven't used quick for about 6 months. Has it changed that much. I will up load a video. I have never been able to easily mix a 5 like this one.

Thanks for making me worry, guys. I just ordered a drum of it this morning. Last batch was so thick we're scooping ink (on autos) about every 15 prints. Thank God for ink traps. I was hoping for better flow, but not what you're talking about.

We had lots of issues with quick white over the last several months that we ditched it......Like you guys are seeing it was all over the place for us. I have gone through 40 gallons of ICC white in the last 2 weeks and it's been super consistent.

wilflex isn't supposed to have these problems...it's why we pay more for it.

That makes no sense. Mine is almost TOO thick...but I buy Quick in gallons. It'd take me 6 months to get through a fiver.

Danny, which ICC white are you referring to?  I've heard good things about 711.

Some grumbling from our back room about quick white also, we were thinking seasonal temp change but our furnace is still coming on at night, so it has not warmed up that much.

We use about 5 gal every 2 weeks or so, the one we just opened has a mfg date of 10/8/14 & batch #4977722.

Does this match up with anybody else's numbers?

I have been using the ICC 711 for 20+ years.  Are there better choices? Maybe, but this is what I know and works for me in my shop.

Best of luck,
