Water base HSA ink what is the best!

Don`t know, last time I got it for free.

For HSA inks I look at 1)Color matching 2)opacity 3)Open times 4)Stock .  At the current time I have found that magna system works the best for those.  We ran matsui since 2009 to the end 2014 and after testing magna made the switch.  Again I think it is a preference thing.  Today I have found out that virus ink has been in business for 40 years?  I only heard about them 2 year ago.  I know that magna has been making water base inks for a long time and it seems to be the go to ink in Europe for water base printing because there system is easy and accurate when put to use.  I may have to R&D the new ruthland hsa when it comes out and I hope they will sell it to me vs tell me its impossible to print when I have already been running HSA since 2009.

who sells manga in the US? Nazdar?

Nazdar sells it and they stock it mostly in Florida.   They sell a test kit here https://sourceone.nazdar.com/P/3917/MagnaMix-4-oz-ECO-Pigment-Kit
 The AdvancePrint Neutral TDB NJ and AquaPlas White FF is what they use in there HSA formulas with the pigments.  Plus we have not had any issues with pigment caking yet.  We keep the pigments in boston squeeze bottles with red cap.  I was told that if you store the pigments up side down you get no caking like the matusi.

for discharge magna is best and for others matsui is best.
