Damnit, shouldn't have told you because when they run out, I'm screwed. I had no idea they weren't making it anymore, I hope someone has something similar or they are replacing it with something. It's basically the only additive I've found to significantly decrease the buildup of an ink. Some do a marginal job and most make it worse.is there a model # on this? i usually dont do WOW printing at all let alone a large run, but i have a 1500+ pc, 7 color run on blacks/whites that is coming up really soon and i'd love to have something to cut down "issues" im going to have....Any 2nd recommendations if i cant find the QCM stuff?hey Shelly, I have been using this, just bought a 5G of it last week. Seems to work really well. Similar to Wilflex's Finesse base, hence the name...http://www.texsourceonline.com/p-139-texsource-fine-wet-on-wet-base.aspx...Let Brandt know I may call him this week if thats cool, I need some hardware help, I know he likes that stufff... OK i was literally just placing an order with them so i checked this thread for some info first--not sure how much i need to mix into the ink but i got a QT for now to see how it goes., even if it helps with one color better than none lol thanks!

You are correct Alan, it's the QMX-1030. I had a brain fart last night on the number designations....that's what happens when you don't play with the stuff for a year I would be surprised if they are discontinuing the clear base for the QMX mixing system, as it's an integral part of the formulas. I can see them dropping the WOW-1001 halftone base though. But that was just a re-label of the QMX-1030.
