I want to try something that has more difficulty going in the shirt and will stay on top ;)nicer, shouldn't be a problem to print since we use S mesh....maybe take quick white and add thickener...hmmAdd thickener? Quick prints great for us through S mesh.It prints great for us too, just trying to think of what could make it even better.

Thanks to another member here, I was able to get a 5'er of Tidy white from Reece Supply for a very reasonable price. I'm going to be testing this ink more thoroughly in the next few weeks so stay tuned.

You didn't have to flash with lead in the ink?I think the research shows that phthalates are definitely "icky" but not the end of the world for fully developed adults. Very bad for kiddos though. I've been phthatlate-free since day one so I don't know what we were missing. I do notice plasti prints from some other shops feel "oily/greasy" and maybe a little more supple compared to ours which are more like a drier, rubbery feel.
I'd like to print with lead based inks just out of curiosity. I've heard the reds are spectacularand that lead based paints were a painters dream.
