We use the union maxopaque... though I prefer a white underlay for longer runs, with 2 screens, but you'll get what you're looking for your way too...

Union Maxopake Golden Yellow.  It looks ok pfp but it looks better with a white UB.

There was a thread on a long lost board where a rep. from Union mentioned that the Maxopaques were
really intended for getting opacity on small fine line left chest stuff and not full coverage areas.

(PS with a PC system and thickener you can make your own opaques)

we have used Wilflex Amazing Base with our PC system to get a nice opaque shade that wasnt available in the Union Maxopaque series.   

Im going to try the thickener  - i have about 4 gallons of Rutland thickener #10 i need to use up.

I'm using pre-CPSIA IC HP Golden Yellow, and though I prefer an underbase, I p-f-p plenty of times.
Yellow, however, does not cover as well as one owuld hope, but good EOM helps a lot.

Not part of your question, but when I have to match a Pantone, or a vinyl with a Pantone number, I have used my Union Mixopake system.
Last time, with Sun Yellow Easy Weed film from Siser (their redder Golden Yellow), I just added 1% Mixopake Red y/s to my IC.

Only familiar with the powdered stuff (Cab-O-Sil so they tell me) so don't come a gunnin' for me if the liquid
doesn't perform as intended!

Works for making HD's as well. Neat stuff.

Yellow is one ink I print alot (and hate) i would strongly suggest an underbase. You can get away with it but with the underbase the color is perfect every time.
