I see that Wilflex Quantum One inks, aside from being phalate and PVC free (not to mention a tad expensive) produce a matte finish. Also, I've read at Nazdar's "SourceOne" website that the series is made up of ink colors that can be used as a Pantone matching system. My real interest is in the matte finish, as I bust my hump trying to eliminate as much of the shine of regular plastisols as possible, but sometimes it's almost impossible depending on the design. Do those inks give you a completely matte finish? And does the series make Pantone matching easy? Do they have software to calculate mixes, like Union's Mixopake? Thanks for any help.
I don't know much about the Quantum One series, except that as already pointed out, it is expensive. But have you ever considered trying a more traditional waterbased ink? They aren't as hard to use as many would have you to believe. Brands like Permaset also have a really nice matte finish, even on an underbase.

quantum one inks are hard to find - looks like they advertise it but nobody has it in stock
Same with the IC Gen IV series
Why launch a product and have no stock?
I'm still waiting for my samples.....
