What inks
« on: February 17, 2016, 07:50:24 PM »
I'm new to the Georgia area and wanted to know what brands of inks is popular here and what supplier are people using? I've already heard horrible things about Spot Color Supply and Color Matrix. Anybody else?

whoa, I've had nothing but GREAT experiences with Brannon and Scott at Spot Color Supply...

it's too bad they're not closer to us or we might buy more often from them.

Yea, me too. Haven't read/heard of anything negetive about them on the forums or Facebook.

Never go by just the hear say of one shop. Gotta get a lot of the same thing to develope an average. Even for those that do have a great rep, you will always come across that one who didn't have such a great experience as everyone else.

Spot Color Supply in my opinion is one of the best suppliers to do business with. Even after relocating, I still source many products from Spot Color because they're great guys doing great business. I've never heard a single negative about them.

It's great to see you, and King Screen (and even our friend Dan) step forward with these positive references for Spot Color Supply.  This one of those occasions where a person operating from false information could inadvertently create an undeserved negative view of an otherwise good supplier  I'm sure that Brannon and Scott will appreciate you guys having their back.  Aint the TSB Community a wonderful thing?

AS a competitor of Spot Color and Color Matrix I must concur with the census.  Both companies go above and beyond the call of duty.  I think a better question would be what ink are you using now? Wilflex, Rutland, etc. Find who distributes what you use and go with them.

Brannon and Scott are probably the coolest dudes selling supplies, and would never do anything but the RIGHT thing!

I also think that asking what inks are popular may be a mistake. I'd be looking for the ink that works best in my shop, not the most popular one. Just an opinion.

I wouldn't go that far. ;)  On the flip side, I didn't get an invoice for my last order with them...

I would use them more often but I am literally 2 doors down from a Wilflex distributor.  I haven't really played with their inks much, but they are International Coatings which is good ink.  Again, I can walk to pick up Wilflex inks, so it's nice.

What part of town are you in?

You got bad info on Spot Color....Scott and Brannon are both class acts and have taken time to help us out and answer any questions we have ever had.  Don't believe everything you hear.  Spot Color Supply is an excellent choice for you to buy supplies at here in the Atlanta GA area.

Jealous.

On a more serious note, is it possible the original poster is a troll?  Seems odd that you'd come in with 1 post and start to berate a company that you can do a quick search on here and find a great amount of really good info about.
