Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
From my testing RIO chemistry is different then MX chemistry....... My first test was taking the finished ink and rubbing it between my fingers, quite surprised that rio and mx feels entirely different(think tacky honey vs non tack cold cream)........ I will be doing a lot of testing with rio in the next week to determine if its something we want to move to. The few jobs that I have used rio with I was quite impressed but still way to early to give a solid opinion on it. I'm trying to get some lab equipment in here that I can break some of this stuff down to find the real differences but initially my thoughts are its no doubt different chemistry then mx.
So after 15 years of using stock inks I'm taking the plunge with the Epic PC Equalizer system (didn't realize how inexpensive it was). We're trying to expand our customer base and I'm realizing that I can't rely on a couple dozen colors to get us by. My question to you folks that have been mixing for years now, do you still buy any premixed inks such as blacks, reds, whatever or do you just mix everything? Thanks you.
Rio is ready for use supposedly high opacity system. Got my kit but have not used it yet.
Just got our equalizer system in and the scale I got with it does not go to .01 grams, only .1 Will I be ok rounding up or should I return it?
