Has anyone tried the QCM 158.1? And how does the QCM 151 stack up against what seems to be a usually promoted white in the QCM 159?Thanks.
I would recommend the XOLB-142 (Fast Flashing White), which was created to be a fast flashing production white. The XOLB-158/159/151 do seem prone to climbing, but some have great success with these products. The softee base is the recommended additive to help with climbing, but is a pain and extra step. I have been hearing the ink has been more consistent from printers, but if anyone has any problems or sees otherwise let me know! Does anyone else out there have any comments to add about the XOLB-142? Quote from: ScreenPrinter123 on June 11, 2012, 03:21:27 PMHas anyone tried the QCM 158.1?

The XOLB-151 was meant to be a production version of the popular XOLB-158. The XOLB-159 is similar to the XOLB-158 however has a little more bleed resistance, a little more opacity and a little bit of a brighter white. This is usually reflected in the cost. I had been told the X-159 is like X-158 on steroids, however, I have heard several times that they have a tendency to be climbers. With that said; the XOLB-142 is not as bright as the X-158 or X-159 but seems to be more successful as a fast flashing production white, than the X-151 (previously created production version X-158). I also had a couple of questions for Rockers:Who is your distributor?What are the cost associated with the sample, product? shipping? Feel free to email me any questions about the differences in the long list of QCM white inks. Thanks! Best Regards'Melissa Cambra MelissaC@Rutlandinc.com
