That's awesome Scott, glad I could help!!! We've been rockin the heck out of this stuff since we got it in, really lovin it!

We tried some of this Friday morning & by the end of the day went through the whole Gal.
It did have a different body & different print characteristics to it than what we use now.
Good opacity & fiber mat down on a variety of blends and colors.
PFP & UB with good results.
Didn't get to use it with high mesh & fine detail yet.

...just wanted to share with the board that this ink is THE DEAL. Ive never seen an ink this opaque, that clears clears so easily. Prints like a dream, NO JOKE. If it continues to perform as it has thus far, we have our new go-to white ink , hands down. Blows Streetfighter, Miami, Sprint, Quick, 711, QCM, all of em, completely out of the water. Worth every penny to get a sample from these guys.

...TRY IT!!!!!

At least in my shop, it floods better and is creamier than superior and I imagine when in production would therefore print faster at lower pressure ... but I would have to beg to differ that it's more opaque than the superior ink or has the matte down quality that superior has, but it's certainly no slouch either, better than others we've used in the past.  It's certainly an ink that would be a go to ink for many shops, no doubt. Had no time to test the tack after flash or flash times.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. I have heard all good news about this white. I am glad we have such a great ink line behind us now.  Can't want to see you next month!!!

This is a good-go to ink. Find myself going to it more already & have a lot of our other stuff to go through still, but liked it so much I already ordered some more. Good price too.

So with all the rave I decided to give the legacy a shot... While the ink has way above average opacity it just didnt do it for me. I had a 3000 pcs run that I ran the ink on and I battled a few things with it. First being print squeegee speed I had to slow our stroke down approx 25% as the ink body was extremely full forcing me to slow the stroke in order to shear the ink. The next problem was flash time, on a job like this we usually dwell at under 1.5 sec flash time but we could never go under 3 sec dwell with this ink. The next concern for me was the ink likes to sit way on top of the fabric compared to what I like to see. The fibers were suspended in the ink and not matted down as much as id like to see. I went back to our normal white for the 2nd location for this 3000 pcs run which was on same screens(opposite side) and we were back to running faster with better matt down imo. Im def going to play more with the ink before making any conculsions but from the one job ran with it I wasnt jumping with joy... With every shop being so different it's hard to say what works and doesn't imo but this ink so far didn't give me the results I expected.  Sorry to derail the happy train lol

No derail. A 3sec. flash here too. It does sit on top of the shirt a bit more than what we have been using too. It did give decent fiber matte down for us. We have been using our white for so long we just started to try some other stuff out & have been liking it for some things over others, I also like the price. I can see if you are getting 1.5 sec. flash a big argument for not changing inks.
There are a few characteristics about this ink we don't like but I want to spend some more time with it to get a better feel for it, & try a few more things too.
