Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Used performance for the pat year and a half, price jump is rediculous.
Less than $500/5 will buy you the best ink on the planet- Wilflex.Try a gallon Alan. Unless I missed it, read most of your posts and haven't seenthis PolyOne/Wilflex brand. Have you extensively tested any of it? I'm sure you would be a veryhonest evaluator. Quick or Extreme and a few more from which to choose. I bet if you pm'd a rep, they would even send a free sample.

The sprint was really good for a while, then it separated/got unstable and almost gelled in the bucket. The quick was very good, short bodied but still usable. When I was trying the wilflex I also got in a gallon of Tidy from rutland and that's the main reason I didn't go back to the wiflex.I've got some Union Poly white coming in this morning and hopefully some wilflex performance tomorrow. I got another confirmation of bad puffing with the rutland super poly over the weekend so that's not good. I was hoping maybe I got the only batch that had too much puff. We've tried going to higher mesh counts but the ink doesn't work all that good with them and the cold snap we've had here the past week has made the ink even more difficult to work with. The super poly through a 180/48 still had too much puff in it with PFP but obviously wasn't as bad as the lower mesh counts.
i am over puff in white inks. My understanding is it's needed more in poly to offset the dye migration.I was corrected by an ink rep one time about puff in white ink. He was quick to say it's not puff, but instead it's a blowing agent. I told him I didn't care what it's called, it sucks and if it acts like puff, I will call it puff.I have not tried Wilflex performance white, their HT Polywhite is thick as heck. Good but just thick. Xenon Mu$tang white is a fine name, does Tiger white or Buffalo white not sound pretty much the same?
I'd say something got mixed up in the mix there Alan, which in itself is a dingagainst the product.
