Chemicals...which vendor

[brandon]

Same thing with ink. We are switching everything to one company. So tired of getting a new gallon of this and that every other week. One company for plastisols, water base, and the non PVC stuff. Once our backstock of multiple water base companies is gone it is gone!

Hi all...I'm considering changing vendors for all our chemical needs. We are using CCI at the moment. We do about 300 screens a day so our usage of chemicals is high. We use all CCI products, from emulsion, press wash, degrease, dehaze, emulsion remover, ect. Which company do you use and why. 

Thanks in advance for all response.

Warning, ranting to follow......

This falls into my pet peeve category, lots of printers who don't understand how to use their screen chemistry properly.  Lots of good products out their but most people waste incredible amounts of time and $ by not understanding how to use the 'stuff'.

We have visitors and clients who simply can't believe our low chemistry cost per screen and high units per hour throughput on screen reclaim.  We just pay attention to the process and save tons of money and more importantly time.

Test the various products and READ THE #*@$ INSTRUCTIONS, they are mostly very similar, and then cut the best deal for your shop.

Done ranting.

PS.  It always amazes me how much people pay to ship water!  If you don't know what I mean, FIND OUT!

OK now I am really done ranting.

This rant is so true. Not only not reading instructions but mixing manufactures together and then wondering why they have a problem.

Ron,

What is the main reaon you are considering changing chemistry? If its cost related there are alternative products and methods I could help you with. What is your current process of reclaiming now and where are you located?
