Well, I forgot that we have about 15 gallons of various puff inks on the shelf back in the shop that we got from an old shop that went under. We've never touched it for a real job, but I have played around with it.

Alan, I remember a lot of the things that the others have posted also that we have had available down under. It just shows 20 years of slog or so, and explains the greys or receding hairline. Yup, remembering is one thing, can't say you miss much of it really, although I don't remember ever being stressed out with leadtimes back then. You didn't miss out.

Coates International and Flint Ink Plastisols, had to sit them on the drier half the day to soften the viscosity.

What I wouldn't have given in those days for QCM158.

Over the years I have bought out about fifteen shops either trading or in liquidation, you get cheap ink, but over time you accumulate puff, purple and turquoise. Rutland make high black which is over pigmented and can use it up. The violets mixed into dull royal blue makes some nice navy shades. You spend all your time trying to work it off, but those 20kg buckets of international coatings puff gets tough. I am determined to convert the inks to cash then retire, but I still accumulate more crap.........

Well Winston I dare say i have managed more shops with belt printers in conjunction with cut and sew factories than most on this board; ditto w/PJ. At one point I remember being stuck with 60 drums of thermochromic ink that went bad due to a failed program. Used Lettraset and stat cameras for film. Had those Spinart machines, and believe it or not back at the old Precision clandestine Artwave Mktg we had a program with Phillip Morris for three million shirts front and back.
Seems like eons ago

I remember a lot of the stuff mentioned but that was before I worked in actual screen printing, I originally started out on the supply side for a large distro that sold to both Textile and graphics printing. Not to mention we did a lot of custom in house stuff with chemicals and inks. We sold names like Inkdezyne, Coates, Manoukian, Dayglo and lots of others I long forgot.

Manoukian.....Hmmmm Paul Dewyngart comes to mind. Been so long I'm sure I butchered his name!

Hi Tony,
I heard you printed more than a few goods throughout the years! I loved the
Precision Belt Printers. I miss the sound of the hydros,sliding belts,and
popping screens. Bill Foust on this board, use to run lots of belts in his shop,
and Ray Gateo on this board, I heard was the "Towel King" using belts as well! Dave Jaffa loved his Artwave! His vision was every mall in America with
those yellow flying saucers! Time flies...

We still have a huge stock of Manoukian products here that need disposal or pass on the pigments if any one wants them. Working at SHARP supply I used to mix stuff from Manoukian I cannot even remember the names of or what it all was for but most of it was nasty, damn i remember something called Uria sp?

Actually it is Urea. Widely used in many industries most notably fertilizer chemistry. Most commonly extracted from cow urine. I believe they were pellets that dissolved in the latex base. Back then you more or less built your own base with a variety of components to suit your needs. I might be interested in the pigments provided they are liquid and in unopened containers you can p-mail me on that.
