Is nobody running Autotype emulsions? I run Plus 8000 for all my needs, plastisol, water based, solvent and 2 part epoxy inks, even pad prink inks if that's what I need, you just need to load them up with retarder.

It seems Autotype and Murakami are the two most popular emulsions up here.
I have some 8000 and 2000 samples here to try, the 2k is for plastisol only, I think I tried the 8k once before, don't remember why we never used it.  I am looking for many things in emulsion, cost vs local availability vs detail vs WB, Discharge and plastisol, vs reclaim vs exposure time and finally smell. . .sounds stupid, but like mentioned before, some of these emulsions smell terrible, I remember QX-1 making me dizzy. . .
