Peter could you pls elaborate? To the best of my knowledge which is dim at best; I believe the Oasis products were actually produced by Magna. Will there be a change in product names/#s? Also still having trouble locating pigments and it seems they are often only available in gallons. On a side note if quarts will be more readily available it would be best to offer them in dispensible squeeze bottles as many of them are prone to drying and flaking.tp
I hesitate to reply to this thread, I'm such a lightweight with WB & discharge, but I have 2 persistent problem colors: I can't discharge a decent BRIGHT RED, and my pigmented WHITE discharge is just not really white enough.I'm using Matsui clear bases with PC Pigments and Matsui's color matching software, but find the CCI D White soooo printable.Anybody got a consistent solution for DISCHARGED Reds and a Bright Whites? I'll try anything at this point. All my other colors are easier than those.I've been at this for just over a year, and still chasing a good red.Oh, and is Sim Process doable with Discharge at a "Sophomore" level? I'd pay for some decent seps, to get started, although I do all my spot seps in house. (With varying results, especially with halftones.) Maybe 2nd Semester Freshman is more realistic.
I did this today with matsui base and pigments to get a pms185, still off a little though. VERY bright, this is a crappy pic.

VERY bright, this is a crappy pic.Hey Jasonl, thanks for posting the pic. I've done 185, 186, 1935, and all manner of fizzywoogah with each of those three colors with limited success. I do agree that the 185 might have been the best.... I hate when my redd shifts to the PINK, but the 185 looked a skoche too Orange to my eye.And @ Prosperitees, I'd buy some Sericol Discharge red, if you'd post the specifics of which one you buy. Is it ready to print as a straight WB, or as a discharge after adding the activator? And I'm not overly excited about the actual WHITENESS of the CCI D White after a wash or two. It's OK, just not jaw dropping white, like 2 passes of Matsui 301W--Print Flash Print. That's some white ink right there, dead flat, with a decent hand.
Ill PM you.
