Just a note on Quick white, i was thinking about switching from Bright Tiger to Quick as the Quick prints really nice based on a sample I tried. I talked to Poly One and they only recommended Quick for blends if the cure temps were closely managed at 330 degrees. We typically exit much higher than that Poly One tech recommended against the quick white in my situation....just FYI.mooseman

Quick is the ink we use on fleece as it's our only LB white and has been for many years. It's the consistency that really keeps me with the ink. I think we had maybe one issue with one batch over this whole time period. I think it's an excellent standalone white but can sometimes give you some guff as a UB in certain settings.

Quick used to be fine on them but I saw some blacks start to shift a couple years backso we switched over. The 18500 fabric in particular has really gone down hill.
We have been performance underbasing most blends with standard inks on top. The new perf white is improved for this application, it doesn't get cranky about the higher cure temp.
