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.....
We exclusively use QuantumOne inks and they are not quite as shiny as plastisol but they virtually look the same. Yes they are expensive! VERY! They are a little harder to flash and we are currently having some issues with curing our black ink but otherwise we are very happy with ink itself. We use the Wilflex MX mixing system and achieve perfect pantone matches. Our clients have been very happy with the product and I feel this is the way of the future.
Anyone Using Wilflex QuantumOne Inks?
