What's a really thick white ink that still floods well?  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...hmm

Add 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.
Put the phthalates back in it so it works like it used too....  ;)

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.

In that case put the lead back in inks as well, then you can throw away all your flashes.

pthalates aren't near the problem lead is.  it's overblown, way overblown.

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.

White ink with lead is thick as all hell but boy did it cover!

I know how you feel Homer.

I never got to print with lead ink.  The pthalates one is fine because most companies have found ways around that since they can use a non-banned one.  I haven't noticed a difference in inks much with the conversion.

I'd like to print with lead based inks just out of curiosity. I've heard the reds are spectacular
and that lead based paints were a painters dream.

I heard they taste better too.


We have a pms ink that looks like pistachio pudding and a stock one that looks like chocolate pudding - star spice brown.  Taste nothing like pudding though.

I found an old gallon of Rutland M1 black in the ink room few months ago.. WOW did that stuff print awesome.. single pass cleared the screen with nothing more than basic pressure.

I have to base down the current black and it still doesn't clear the screen completely.

It's weird how some black and navy inks don't like to shear completely.

I have never tried to f*ck a screen if that is what you are implying.
