This is in reference to plastisol. There are a lot of brands out there.... Wilflex, Union, Triangle, IC.... and so how do you decide? I am using International Coatings right now with satisfactory results (for me ) - I think I'm trying to determine the merit of looking beyond what I have in front of me right now.

* What brands have you used?
* If you don't still use them, why?
* Do you use multiple brands - maybe certain inks are better for certain applications?


Thanks.

Thanks

I started with Rutland about 11+ years ago, when I set up my shop I used Rutland than my supplier switched to Wilflex. I tried to switch at first and trying to match colors was a pita yet in the process I found some inks I liked better in the Wilflex and some better in Rutland thus the reason I use both.

I have used Union in the past and can say they are a good brand yet haven't used them enough to offer much about them

We use Wilflex and Union because we use their mixing system. We only use International Coatings on emergencies.
