Warrior White VS. StreetFighter

[dirkdiggler]

hit me with it, trying to make a decision.

easy choice...get a gallon of each and test them out.

I am doing that, just wondered if anyone else has already tried both.

I've tried streetfighter, it's ok, I prefer a short bodied white, the stringy ones just don't do it for me.

I don't know why.

I am with you there, if its stringy I don't want to waste my time.

Tried them both and they are both decent whites.  Nothing to go crazy about but if that was your go-to white ink then you could do a lot worse.  I still have some SF here and a couple other whites I'm trying to get to.  Sorry Brannon, I'm trying to get to the samples you sent but I haven't had an opportunity to do it right and I don't want to just let my printer use and tell me if he likes it or not.

I have tried them both and neither of them compare to Quick White for matte down.

I've used both and preferred warrior white. Actually warrior is the #1 white at our shop right now.

I like the SF Cotton. The SF Low Bleed is kinda stringy. I will try the Quick white when my auto gets set up.

quick white is the best imo, been using it for 10 years, but its 100 bucks more a five.  Looking for something more economical.  Got a sample of Warrior on the way.

i don't care how much ink costs.  I care how well it performs and what the final product looks like.  I find most budget inks lack something...flash time, opacity, printability and so on.

I will gladly pay an extra $25 per gallon for ink that flashes fast and has a smooth hand.

Dirk. try this for every day prints on cotton:

Every ink lacks something, and for Warrior White it's opacity, but it's really not far off from Phoenix White (used to be my #1 white). For a 5 it's just over 200 and it's really excellent, prints VERY easily.

[dirkdiggler]

my bad everyone, I meant Gladiator White not warrior.  Anyone heard of it?

[mk162]

hands down the best ink I have ever used is EJ special white auto.  It's pricey, but it flashes fast, has high opacity and prints with the softest hand.

I wish I could get it locally, and not from OneStroke, they are just a hassle...phone calls, no online ordering(that I know of), shipping, waiting and so on.
