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

They have online ordering, but I am totally with you on the shipping and waiting. I am probably spoiled though with 3 suppliers within 30min. if I need them and another 2 within a 1 day ship, 3 days seems like eternity!

My wilflex supplier is a stones throw from my office...if you have a good enough arm ;) Seriously it's about a football field away. It's convenient.

Dirk, where are you located. I personally deliver the best white Brad uses to him. That would be Xenon Regular White. Cost $225 a fiver.
