I've learned that any of the other units on the market that use the big covered bulb, say like the richmond unit, advertise, 7k or 10k, but that is what the lamp, "inside" the housing is releasing, they don't tell you that they light is actually knocked way down from the external housing and turns a 10 lamp into a 6k actual output.
Every time I think I've settled in on a DC emulsion a new one comes out that's just a little better than the last. I'm glad Mike is the guinea pig on this stuff and not me. I've got a 2800 pcs DC UB job coming up so I need a gallon of CCI Premium D-base and the HXT emulsion and I hope it works out. If I screw up a bunch of shirts again the wife is going to kill me. And she reminds us every day about the next DC job coming and how we better have things figured out. Thanks for the info Mike, this is why this forum is the best. I didn't have to waste $200 testing emulsion so I owe you something in return.
