Bravo Flex White
« on: April 08, 2014, 02:26:50 PM »
This ink is from One Stroke.

Is anyone else using it on poly and how good or bad does it work for you??

Thanks for the help.

It's an amazing ink.  At an amazingly high price.  It blocks dye migration with the very best of them but prints as easy as a nice cotton white.  I used a gallon a few weeks back and I loved it.

It worked as advertised, but we don't like it all that much. Too much rise...

It did have puff but I found it had noticeably less than Rutland Super Poly, Exalibur Athletic, Union Poly and Triangle Excel.  When I spoke to the rep about my issues with the puff additive he told me it was a necessary evil and at this point it was the best way to combat dye migration.  I'm using One Stroke's Dry Fit White for our poly needs and it doesn't have much puff but it's there and it's way cheaper than the bravo flex.  It also prints more like a cotton white.
 
Not sure I should advertise the Bravo's price but I think I may have done it before.  PM me if you want to know what I was quoted.

I have run a few jobs. I have a decent one going on h4820's tomorrow. I will let you know. I am thinking for the price I am more likely to base with gray and print white over that.

okay. I ran 120 mixed colors h4820 white on front and back. I will say I love this ink. It prints like a charm and there was no bleeding yet. The shirts shipped to NJ so I will know for sure Tuesday. I am not expecting and issues.
The price is high. If the ink was half the cost I would get rid of all others but at this price I can't justify it. There are inks out there that work pretty well for 1/3 - 1/4 of the price.

I sure wish it were cheaper as well because I could get rid of all other whites and just use this.  Then I'd never have to worry about whether or not my printer used the proper ink on the poly jobs.
