Jeez dude. I hate phones too but damn. Make a call, get the right thing, maybe meet someone nice
that can help you out or tell you a a joke or something.

You'll want a scale for the activator.

You just illustrated the exact reason I don't do phone calls.  Next thing you know a 2 minute phone call is made into a 15 minute one x9498503843 times a day.  Sorry but we do not have that type of time.

We can order all my supplies from online places in the time 1 typical phone call would take by the time jokes start, hows the weather, and "whats your address, whats your phone  number, how do you spell your last name"  Jesus get with the times!!!! 

GLADLY pay way more to not do phones.

One of my reps I met when he stopped by to chat. I usually hate when folks do that,
not using the man door, etc.

We talked about stuff, he pointed me in the direction of some better/less expensive
products for what we are doing, told some printing nerd jokes, etc.

Now I've got a guy that if I ever need anything or have a question on anything BAM one call
done.

What's Sam say? Call me?


FWIW I tried the ImageStar Discharge white on the rumor it was the CCI. If it was, it was
heavily watered down. I've found the super thin whites will change viscosity in the screen too much
as they evaporate.

I dont use it, maybe 40 minutes a month talking to distant friends/family.  That's it.  I am far to busy for playing on the phones.

Happy to shoot the crap with someone that stops by.  Do it all of the time, those are where friend ships are really formed.  When I need supplies I need a business to be there to sell it, if they can't do that with a online site in this day and age.  Then I will not and can not take you seriously as a supplier.  Period.

Love you Tony!

Thanks for helping me Tony.  That's what this site is suppose to be about.  I would rather beat the info out of you guys so others may see this thread and get good info.  Calling someone just gets info for me.  Which seems some guard the info like its gold.

So thanks again Tony!

I have approximately 2-3 minutes of time in this conversation, so I saved 7-8 minutes and used the forum for its intended purpose, sharing knowledge.  SCORE!

But we all KNEW you would get your 2 cents in......

im sure it wont matter here, but i text my orders into my CCI rep Jaime Fernandez.  takes less time than making a post here and i get a text a few min later telling me when he will bring it by and a total cost.  But i did have to call him first to set that up.  yeah that call took all of 4 minutes.

Sharing knowledge so that someone looking for discharge in the southeast can read 28 posts to find out how to order the same marked up
products from silkscreeningsupplies (blech) that they could order from CCI direct by making one phone call? %6 activator is common
knowledge and likely included in the products documentation or at the very least available from the guy on the phone...

just to add to the 6% standard zfs ratio, sericol reds only call for 4.5% and work great too.
