Experience with WM Inks?

(1/4) > >>

Denis Kolar:
Does someone have experience with WM inks and Chromaline Chroma Blue emulsion.
I got some samples of Chroma Blue photopolymer emulsion and WM white ink.
Emulsion is a bit slower exposing than Xenon, but it holds a lot better on screen. Or, should I be looking at dual cure to have a better control on detail?
Also, does it help that this one has 50% solids content, and what does it mean to me (newbie here)?

Thanks

Homer:
is it the PC-701? I have a gallon of that here to try, haven't used it yet... I use CT-R exposes way faster. SBQ @ 45.00 /gallon. . .can't beat it.

WM had a white ink that was awesome but I had to take out another mortgage on the house to buy it. it was another "magic in a bucket" used for everything, cotton, blends and everything in between. .

It is the first one on the top Chroma Blue.

WM white is $72/ gallon. A bit pricey over the Xenon. But what kills me with Xenon is the shipping, there is no-one close to me that sells Xenon, other than that, I love it.

I am wondering what kind of emulsion you have that is Xenon brand... As for the shipping I mentioned to Sonny that most of my suppliers give free shipping on orders over some $150 (WM Plastics) and others $200 is the limit. The free shipping is a good incentive to buy there products, I know some say they hike the original price but it looks the same to me.

I had Xenon Plastofast that I did not like. They are working on it to fix some issues. If they fix that plastic/gummy feel to it, I could give it a shot again (it was not underexposed). The supplier I'm using is giving 50% of UPS if I order $250 or more, but last time shipping was $14 only (7 after 50%). The sample order from Sonny was $27 for shipping, and it was not any heavier than the other one.
