We have to use a roller on the polywhite or it always feels rough.performance white for anything that we feel is going to be a bleeder.We also use one stroke white for certain items also(with their black ub on sublimated goods)I feel like that's too many whites.What's the opacity & hand like when using Epic Birght Tiger on triblends? And what meshes & print procedure are you typically running? We're always trying to keep those as soft as possible - people were happy with "vintage' style prints on triblend for years, but recently the trend has been opaque. (Especially with gyms, but others too.)

Alright, Quick is on the way, along with a quart of Single LC to try out. Thanks for all the input!
We are on our first 5-er of the Single LC. We do have some minor issues with it drying in the screen when the pallets heat up as you get deeper into a long run (and the ink levels get low). It also seems to print a little rough for us.
Researched this stuff a bunch yesterday - it turns out that the majority of Epic inks cure at 300, with a few like Performance curing at 290. In fact, Warrior LB is the only one I saw that cures at 320. (I did not look at cotton-only inks, however.) If you do a lot of finicky fashion blends like we do, you might want to check the specs on your ink - you might be able to get away with less heat. And less heat= fewer problems for a lot of what we do.Now, questions:For those who have used them, how would you rate Performance? And Epic Bright Tiger? (Not Classic B.T.) Compared to Quick, what should we expect in terms of ink viscosity & final hand?
