Waterbase flukes
tonypep:
You are right about the Rutland WB-99......It was flawless and consistent. Haven't played with the Magna. And Pavonine was really good and different. Something like 30 pigments. If you wanted a brown PC you had three options.

So far we are about 2000 prints into Gildan Heavy Cottons and no issues. I'm taking activator from the same bucket. Also, we fill a 1 gal bucket so the 5 gal doesn't get opened as often. So spots are only showing on Next Level & Bella. Crazy

Question from someone that doesn't know any better, but couldn't you dissolve the activator in water or an ink additive before mixing it in?
I've started dissolving my cinnamon for French toast into vanilla extract because it mixes with the egg better.
Just a thought.
cclaud3:
Yes, I certainly can and it may help.
After years of consistency doing it the way we've been doing it I was looking for a definitive "ah yes, that's such and such causing that".

Reprint #3 of same 2 color design from this morning. Brand new bucket of CCI activator. Same problem with dark spots.
Ran thousand of prints in between on gildans with other DC colors, etc and not a single problem.
Does not show on black gildans, tultex, district. Only shows on Bella & Next Levels.
Going to have to run this one with HSA to get it out the way.
Sourcing Magna brand activator for next test.
