Tried a New White

[Homer]

the more i read about white inks, well inks in general, not many members here use Union inks?

am i missing the boat?

I use tons of union.

I think Unions problem is they do not have a lot of vendors, we buy directly since they are close by but I would be beyond thrilled if a general screen supply company with in one or two days sold Union.

Garston sells it...they have a new website -order online if interested. too bad it's garston.

I order from Jennings..he is 40 minutes away...

I think union makes great spot colors in the ultrasoft series and maxopaque series.  I used to use their white inks but I haven't tried one in years.  The diamond white used to be great right out of the bucket but after a few days of taking the ink in and out of screens it would get gritty and hard, the consistency would change a lot.

We wont deal with them, I tried in the past and got screwed royally on something, plus also they had horrible stock of Union at least they did back then.

garston is mostly a wilflex dealer.  they sell union ink, but union is owned by rutland. 

we use the union maxopaques...  ive been trying to get the shop to change over to the Amazing base, but the artists love the Maxopaques.

The never ending quest for the perfect white. In my case If it works for me I ain't changing it. Wliflex Sprint for cottons, Triangle Phoenix for 50/50, Union Lo-bleed for poly and CCI D-white if discharging. Switching whites all of the time..."ain't nobody got time for all that."

The perfect white?

What are white t shirts?

I was thinking the same thing.  It's like aliens, you assume there could be aliens, but you never see them.

What's a really thick white ink that still floods well?  I want to try something that has more difficulty going in the shirt and will stay on top nicer, shouldn't be a problem to print since we use S mesh....maybe take quick white and add thickener...hmm

Add thickener? Quick prints great for us through S mesh.

It prints great for us too, just trying to think of what could make it even better.

Yep.  Warm Quick flows very well.  Pre warm yer white ink!   and keep it warm.
