Default White Ink Question

Hey y'all,
I recently bought a upgraded (WIMS) DTG Kiosk and love it. I have not tried to use the white ink yet. I have a couple of questions. The white ink appears to have a different texture than the regular ink to me. A little granier? Is that normal? The other question is about priming the ink, is it hard to do? I understand that you have to pull it through on the waste ink container when it is doing the ink charge. Do I have to prime the ink cartriges first? Thanks for your help.

Priming the cartridges with a syringue will save on ink, just be careful to not spill ink onto the top of the printhead or the cables.
