QCM 158? 159?Thats my favourite ink!
I've run about 50 gallons of diamond white but it's been 3 years since I've touched it. It was always fine right out of a fresh bucket but as it aged it did so poorly.
That's pretty much exactly the problem. We couldn't get an entire round of shirts off the press before we had to extremely thoroughly clean out the stencil...even brought Camie 480 screen opener back into the mix after years of swearing it off in an effort to detoxify and green up the shop.We started using it because it worked, was phtalate free and we were getting a great price as the first big customer from an upstart supplier. They used the term "particle size," even brought in someone who was described to me as one of their "chemistry experts," who did know his stuff in regards to screen printing. Asked all the right questions. But once we got to mesh aperture, thread diameter, thread count and he said "Murakami 150S?" I nodded, all of that expertise went right out the window with a concerned "ohhhhhh." A week later I heard back about the "particle size inconsistencies," I brought it up as part of another thread here and a few other people chimed in with similar stories....I guess "chunk" and "glob" are just different, if informal, ways of saying "particle." Murakami was not reached for comment as to which of their meshes has been certified to transfer chunks and globs of plastisol .
chunks.. this is screen printing.. not a minecraft game. they passed off a bad grind and C grade resins to you, the printer and then tried to tell you it was your fault... wowwilflex or rutland is all ive ever used, this is why.
