Default Union Ink line...

I was looking at the athletic plastisol but it seems to be too glossy and thick. Any suggestions that wouldn't cost me anything more?

Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Basically like the fact that athletic looks new for a long time but doesn't fade but am looking for something thinner, less glossy, that can be applied to blacks and whites, and will be the same price.

Unions athletic inks are great.

Thank you, but I was hoping on something suggested within their line of inks, if anyone's familiar.

They have...autoline/athletic gloss/ maxopake/mixopake/polyester low bleed/ mixotrans/ ultrasoft...

what exactly are you wanting the ink for? Regular printing, athletic printing?
Ultra soft might be too transparant for dark sirts.
If for general plasticol printing I would look at their all purpose inks, not too thick and not too thinn which makes a good dark and light shirt ink.

One reason athletic inks look good over time is that they a thick and bullet proof. They need to be this way for the rough use. Good luck on your search.

Just a little FYI, Rutland just recently purchased Union Ink. I was told everything was going to run the same for sometime, but don't they always say that.
