For at least a few weeks now. Again you take the %s from the actuaL pms books as the have formulated their PCs to match the Pantone colors such as Rubine, Transparent white etc.
BTW this is Tony Pep logging in under Kevin till our IT guys get me set up.

Hopefully they tweaked their formulas. The CCI red I saw was unimpressive. Sericol red was much much brighter.

I have yet tto test the CCI PCs but can attest that the Sericol products are freaking awesome especially the flos. They also have Pantone formulas.

I have been printing a pretty nice W.B. Discharge Red based on Sericol Yellow Shade Red. Best Red I have gotten to date.  An example of how I've been mixing it, say....in a 200 gram batch:  100 grams Sericol Yellow Shade Red, 90 grams Matsui Bright Discharge base and 10 grams of Matsui Neo Red Pigment. To that, I'll add 6 grams of Discharge Agent, 6 grams of Matsui Fixer N, and 6 grams of Matsui PrintGen MG for a total of 218 grams. (I'm all manual, so on press, I'll mist a little water.)

I've had a problem with my reds shifting either too much towards the pink or towards orange.... or maybe even magenta. This has been working for me for nice, bright discharge red, and it seems to wash pretty well.

Having said that, I don't have the entire set of Sericol Texcharge stuff, and perhaps their red formulas will be better than what I've described above.  I was actually holding off purchasing the entire Texcharge set, until I had given CCI PC pigments a shot.  Looks like I can test it very soon....
