Well obviously Jason Vorhies likes Meteor white.

A little Friday the thirteenth fun while I was away from the shop.

Hi to all following this discussion.  Yes Green Galaxy is a Canadian company! :-)  Up until recently most of our inks were manufactured in Canada.  We are now making the inks in Italy, so you are both right. :-)  Ryonet will be selling our inks in the USA I saw mention of Nick Wood, He is a great guy.  We are going to start with White inks and grow the line from there.  The goal of our company is to release great products that are user and environmentally friendly, that ultimately make printers more profits.  The white inks are 3 roll milled and the small particle size allows you to print through finer mesh and have great coverage.  The water base has incredible open time and is supper soft but can be used print flash print then it bonds to itself for some stretch.  We will be releasing more products and updating our website throughout the year.  Thanks for the interest and I hope you love the products!       

Is the Meteor a phthalate free product ??

[GreenGalaxy]

Yes Meteor is a phthalate free product.  We do not offer any product with phthalates!  :-)

That's good.... I think this product will be a great seller, especially at your current pricing.

I suspect if I had done my review with a better screen (S mesh at 25n)... it would have been a one hit print.
Best wishes to you, for a successful 2014.

[GreenGalaxy]

Thank you, and I also would like to wish you tremendous success in 2014!

Hello Bob. 

Can you compare the performance to Quick white that you are using? 

Afterflash tack?  Not so important on a manual but definitely on an auto.
Coverage through same mesh?
Whiteness?
Gloss or Matte?
Clarity of overprint color?
Weight per gallon?

Also just to be clear, the Quick is an LB product, hence a much higher price.  The sister Wilflex Cotton product is Sprint - which is significantly less $/gal than the quick in gallons - albeit certainly not the gallon pricing you see here with this material.

[GreenGalaxy]

Sorry we have not done direct comparisons to the Wilflex products. 

It looks like the gallon is not full but it actually is a perfect gallon by weight.  The container is larger for mixing and scooping. 

- 1 Gallon of Meteor White according to its specific gravity = 5.72 KG
which is what we pour into the containers.
- Meteor White Gallon Containers are approx 1.5" wider than IC Gallon
containers (Approx 22.25" for IC, 23.75" for Meteor)
- Meteor White Gallon Containers are approx 1.5" lower than IC Gallon
containers

I've been pretty busy of late, and can't find the time to dig. The Meteor is a plastisol and the Comet is a water base? I can't seem to find enough info on the website... you know, the technical specs. Of course, maybe I'm just missing them? Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I think the Comet is for 50/50's. I think they have a whole new line of WB that is going to be hitting the market soon. I still have great luck with the Meteor, stuff is smooooooooooth!

Alex,

How are you making it work?  The sample I have will not matte fibers at all....

We did testing on a standard black 100% cotton 6.1 oz shirt - not ringspun.

We have run it on a 110 and also a 156. Printed on Tri-blend, 6.1oz and hoodies. The hoodies we used a different top white as they were a bit stubborn. But I am replacing the Miami white we used to get with the Meteor. Even up here in MN where the ink gets cold and can be a pain to work with this stuff is still great to work with. Here is a pic on the Tri-Blend. 156 for UB and top coat.

wanted to revise this thread, I am looking for info on the Comet white, Anybody at all used it yet!

[TCT]

We actually use the Comet all the time. If we are printing a DC or WB run, that is our go to for a top or hi light white.
It is a WB white but could almost be considered a HSA white.

Is green galaxy acrylic or polyurethane water based ink ?

[noortrd]

Whats the price of white plastisol. Excalibur also canadian.  For water based matsui is best.
