Well I finally tried all the samples I received and the results are in (for me at least) the samples from Wilflex (Epic Quick White & Epic Amazing bright White) were both good inks. the amazing bright white white is as it’s name suggests “Bright” either would make a good underbase in my opinion. I tried the One Stroke ink a second time and it turned out a lot better (I must have done something wrong the first time) though it was not quite as bright as either of the Wilflex inks it was very creamy and covered good. I liked the Wilflex ink enough that I bought their pigment mixing system as that was my goal, to decide which brand to go with. I loved the One Stroke ink as well however, their mixing system was a bit out of my price range. I never did hear back from Rutland so I have no idea how their ink is. BTW I haven’t had any problems with dye migration with any of these inks.

Hey Casey

Sorry I disappeared for a while there Holidays have hit me hard with sublimation work. As far as the mixing calculator goes you can download one from Wilflex website “polyone.com” I think. ICC also has one but theirs is web based and I’d rather have it on my computer. It tells you how much ink to mix up for the size of the graphic you’re printing and also allows you to save any custom color recipes you might come up with.
BTW if you ever get a pantone mixing system I can definitely recommend the one from Wilflex, they have really good ink….including the low bleed white that they make.
