Game Changer!!! Seriously.. Read this if you like discharge!!

t quite ready for primeime is all I can say riight now. Just remember this is a product in development.

Ok more testing this morning. Heres some details. The 10% yellow pigment load failed. Vibrancy practically nil. Last night I tried to activate it with ZFS but interestingly enough the crystals will not dissolve. Tried printing it anyway and where the crystals appeared it was popping. There are two red pigments; blue shade and yellow shade. I combined them to match our blood red 606. Again fail. The blue pigment is red shade and rather dull. It too failed. It's critical to note that I used a garment that had already successfully discharged so that factors out of the equation. Did i get a bad batch? Quite possible as this is more likely to occur in developmental stages. If not than this product needs to go back to R&D. I will be quite interested in others' results.
Again I am excited and encouraged that this process is happening and kudos to the folks behind the scene.

doesnt sound good.  will be trying here tomorrow, hope its better than that.

hey, maybe it would make a better UB or straight white DC, it would make it easier to use for us lay people.

[tonypep]

Possibly. I will be trying a white pigmented base shortly. The actual white ink is not ready yet.

[tonypep]

Brannon just called and it looks like they did indeed send me the wrong base. This was intended to be used as a clear UB and cannot handle a pigment load. Game back on!

[dirkdiggler]

you had me dreading tomorrow, now it is back on!

[tonypep]

Be sure to ask if its the formaldhyde vs or the NF. My guess is the NF will be weaker

[spotcolorsupply]

It is the ZF version...

[dirkdiggler]

Testing is done, it works, still in R&D, more to come!  Thats as much as I can say right now!  Stay tuned!

Good to know. My replacement base is on its way. If I hear right, you should be able to come in Monday and print the same ink with exact same results. My ink (wrong base) was very runny how about yours?

Didn't somebody say, on friday it will be public who the mysterious producer was?
But then again there is friday every week.

I was in Kansas City at the DAX show last Friday and no one would admit to knowing anything about this new miracle ink. The Union Ink rep was rather skeptical. Any news on the testing?

[Rob Coleman]

No one there would have known.  At this juncture, it is not any of the majors.  They wouldn't necessarily be aware.

Right now I am am voluntarily censoring myself. Testing continues.
