Just wants to make you feel inadequate...

The point is color mixing matching is not difficult and true reds are easily achievable. The best color mixers train themselves by observing results and recording the formulas in swatch books.
There are some things that I am not allowed to post.

But the topic is Fox Red.

Gary came by and left sample's with us but I've yet to try them, he also left us with some underbase white anyone tried that yet if you've got some.  Hey Gil stop picking on Tpep he might take his ball and go home LOL

No problems. BTW when Gary was at your shop did you ask him for the formulas for discharge base and white?

he willingly gives it out, or he did to me.

Sure feels like the subject of dc red has been discussed here and all over the interwebs before. Seek and ye shall find, but until then try maroon and bright orange pigs together. You will also have to experiment with different binders. Activator at 4% or less. Also different brands of garments will yield different results.

It is going to be hit and miss until you find the right mix of binder/pig/activator/garment. Tony is the DoD and he got there through years of experimenting. What he shares here is what he can share and that's a good thing...I have learned a lot.

Hey Jason......If you're talking about the ratio of white to base of course. Fact is non of my friends at Rutland, Wilflex, or CCI knew anything about white base ratios until a little birdie told them about it.
We were doing for 15 ys and no one knew. I was referring to actual formulas to the base and the white (obviously proprietory) as an elbow rib to Gil. BTW still got that Vegas Gold wet samp paper weight on my desk. Guess  I'll have to stop making a pretty paperweight and work on it for you

sounds like a nice Christmas gift!

Oh, I will GLADLY ask a different question given you "clearing" up things.

Can you sell us some of that proprietary red that you mix up?  Those other guys won't give me the formula you are right, but they will GLADLY sell me all the ink I can use at a very reasonable price.

Sorry Gil not allowed but.........if you scroll up a few posts (not mine) you may find a hint

[Gilligan]

That's cool... just back to my original (rhetorical) question.  I'm good!

[jvanick]

I think tony just likes to taunt us, as well as teach us that we should all be open to doing R&D to produce the best products possible.

[tonypep]

Fair enough; a little of both. The latter of which is sometimes a good thing nest'ce pas?
