Hey I got another question? I bought a press and it came with some inks but they look really thick some flow but slowly. I'm not sure what it should be like I just bought some new ink so when it gets here I guess I we'll know my self. Is there ways thin out thick inks?

Hi Charles

See if some of the inks soften after you stir them a bit.

On the next order you might then consider having your supplier send a "Soft Hand Extender Base" (way soft ink to mix in without any pigment color) or "Plastisol Curable Reducer" (liquid plasticizer that 'thins' ink but can be more tricky to use.)

Happy trails!

The older the ink and the hotter the weather the thicker and stickier it gets. Those additives help, but will never make the ink as creamy as freshly manufactured ink. Find an ink supplier that manufactures in your region and turns over the stock quickly on his warehouse shelf. Trust me...there is a difference.
