Ah, okay. We had this happen towards the end of our time with that line. Great line for short runs under 1000 pieces but even over 500 pieces it gets interesting. We used it for years and years but migrated to another brand because of many small issues like this. Even with documenting everything and removing variables there were just too many inconsistencies towards the end for us. And the activator always had some issues if you didn't use it within a couple of weeks of opening. Just my opinion and experience

Ok good to know. It's the only activator we used. Worked both for Matsui and now Magna for years. Just ordered another 5 gal to troubleshoot against so hopefully this next batch proves something. Thanks.

Who are you using now? We are pushing alot nore into discharge this spring and currently only using Matsui which has been great so far, but we are not doing multicolors that much yet.
TCT:
We ran into the same ting a few times a while back but on IND4000 hoodies. Nothing in the screen, that is too obvious, especially for those of us that print multiple DC/WB jobs a day. The only thing I can say that is the same as yours is we were using CCI for our pigments at that time. Not saying that is it, but that is the only thing from reading your post that we had in common....
cclaud3:
We started with Matsui but the wet on wet wasn't working on DC or Medium solids. Skin-like build up on bottom of screen.
Tried aquarius, printed the same as Matsui.
For the last few years we have been Magna pigments and bases with CCI activator.
