All brands are good and will work but most are way to thick. I use rutland and mix 25% of poly white ink into it and then it prints nice.

Not sure about code V, but I've printed A4 poly camo with Wilflex Bleed Blocker. It tends to be thick as BP said about Rutland, I add viscosity buster to get it to move better.

I’ve got an order this week with Code V also (but hoodies).  I spoke with One Stroke yesterday, and I’m going to use ELT digital black as underbase.

I used to use one stroke digital black. the pit fall is that if you are printing a light color the black UB is hard to cover.

I was wondering about that (digital black) as my rep was telling me about it, I was kind of thinking using a black for an underbase would cause problems with the top colors.  I will say the ELT-S inks have been really good for bleeders, we just printed a bunch of sport-tek black double stroked and flash with top colors and the white is still nice, printed thru a 135 s-mesh with low print pressure.

Thanks guys, I was going to try the black base as well, but since its will be hard to come back over it with colors i will just go with the grey base, thanks again!
