I am with Alan on this one. We use tidy-whitey for top coats ect. and Miami for everything else. I will have to try your trick with some added base Alan, does that help keep it from climbing up the squeegee?I do have to say we have used about 60% less white in the last year with the amount of DC we have been doing....Alan, can I ask what your 5er of tidy costs? I will have to look up my last invoice, but I want to say it was like three bills... But we do no busines with the local Rutland supplier so I guess I don't know if they give us good pricing or not.
There is no magic white that will make a 1 white ink shop. If you want to get the best print you can on every job you will have to have a couple of them to be able to work on the different fabrics from cotton to tri blends. They each have different fiber matte down properties and opacities for a reason.
just finished 2 jobs testing Solar white, its the creamiest, most short bodied, fastest, easiest to print white I have ever tried. Its low bleed and around 200 for a 5er. I will be ordering a 5 when my quick runs out.
Dirkdiggler posted about Solar just a few posts up. Mentioned an even better price than your link.
