Discharge ink ->more ink or more heat?

<< < (5/5)

tonypep:
Not much help here perhaps but, when working with the (now discontinued) Rutland ZFS systems extensively all day every day, we actually activated the inks immediately before printing. No flashing and down the gas dryer 330 degrees normal retention time with no issues for many years.

Its just the waiting time of the ink which makes me wonder if i miss something else. (Like with waterbased white: tried to follow the manual, but.. cracking, so clearly my process is not optimized :-)

I can`t really imagine that letting the ink sit for longer will get you a better result. In many cases  the inks won`t discharge very well at all after 8 hours. can I get a link to the product page? Same for the waterbase white.
