I'm not a good judge for discharge. I have only printed one job that has gone out the door and that was last week. The pigments are thick. They don't make the base that much thicker like the neo red from matsui but I am yet to print more than a 1X1 inch square with them. Next week I am going to pick a few jobs to print with them and see how it goes. I am just using the base, pigment and activator at 6 percent. Well and a spray or two of water. I have alot to learn but so far I am having really good results.
