We checked and found that magna white is clear winner of whiteness.  Hope anybody tell cci to produce cci super white in future.

For us Rutland white plus. It has a slight blue shade which helps on troublesome fabrics. We did real time side by side tests on a wide variety of fabs

The blue thing is quite interesting.

Years ago, when I was starting out, and first experienced the "pinking" of white on 50/50 red, I half jokingly mentioned the blueing agents available for laundry I remembered from my youth to the guy who I got shirts from, and he thought it made sense.
Even though I still avoided red 50/50 whenever I could, I did play around with adding a little blue, and it turned out that I wasn't the only one!

The slight addition of blue gives an optical illusion of a brighter white. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they are still a part of some laundry detergents or "whiteners".

So, why would they limit it to plastisol? (except for the Rutland Tony mentioned)
It appears to be a concept that comes to so many spontaneously.
It must be in many other inks as well.

I always figured that the puff inks grew from a similar chemical concept used in those "snake tablets" that we lit in ashtrays to watch the long ash grow and grow.

I have used the blue trick in the paint industry as well, makes a big difference in cheaper straight whites
