Superior is amazing.  My QCM is collecting dust and will only be used on items that require phthalate compliance.  It's stringy but doesn't climb the squeegee.  NEVER have to worry about it with winged floodbars and you don't have to overfill the screen like you'd think a white ink would need. Get a fiver of it, you won't regret it.

The fact that Miami Screen never replied to any of my emails does not speak for them. Guess I won't be doing any business with them.
Rutland's Claira High Opacity Cotton White is pretty awesome. We are not too keen on the Streetfighter White though.

What version of it is closest to the WillFlex Quick White?  I need to try some.

It smoke any of the Wilflex whites. We are using the non-phthalate superior white. When you card of a screen, it virtually leaves no residue of ink behind, prints so smooth, great for under basing sim process, very very bright white too. I love it from any whites that we've tried in the past. I haven't had any problem with contact, 2 minute phone call and your order is done.

Have you seen their website??  I'm surprised you found an email address!  When a site clearly doesn't have a lot of effort put into it, it's safe to assume they aren't computer people and it's probably best to call if you want to do business with them.  I don't like calling either, but it's worth it for the ink in my opinion!

I had a similar experience with email... we chalked it up to a big misunderstanding *shrug*... but if it wasn't for the way everyone was talking about it, I would have walked and never looked back over the handling of it.

Hey Matthias,
Glad the Rutland Cotton White is working for you. I figured you might have problems with the Streetfighter though...

Its pretty much perfect for me. It could be just a tad thinner though but that's the only gripe I have

I liked the street fighter just fine, but the miami ink is just a tad better in every category.  Better coverage for underbasing most notably between the two, but other than that we could certainly live with the SF, especially mixing it with some qcm 159.  We keep 159 on hand at all times to mix into the longer bodied inks to get them to a medium body.  The miami needs a touch of 159, as did the IC 711, SF, and the other Rutland white we used for a while (can't remember).
