Hello there...
So I was wondering if anyone else had a supplier for Fujifilm Texcharge discharge inks? The only two colors we use are Red BS and Red YS. Our current supplier just let us know there was a price increase, and now 1 gallon of the Red YS is over $300... (we were paying around $65)
This can't be right... and if it is, I guess we need to switch inks? It's a real pain though because we spent what felt like ages trying to fix an issue with our discharge red, and after trying a ton of different brands we concluded Texcharge inks give by far the most vivid discharge red on black bella canvas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can buy the tex charge inks direct. The reds you mentioned are hands down excellent.. call reid at sericol/fuji- 913.342.4060

THANK YOU RICK!!!!! I agree, the reds are hands down the best discharge red we've got our hands on

I wanted to give an update. We got a wholesale ink account through Fujifilm, which is definitely more affordable, but the ink we used to get through a local supplier for $65 a gallon is now around $160 a gallon, wholesale (not through any supplier). The rise in price is due to a resin they use to formulate the ink suddenly becoming more rare. For now we are gonna just eat the cost and pray the price goes back down, because we are very dependent on that specific ink (Red Blue Shade)

If you want to try ours it retails at around $52 per gallon directly from us.
Its not listed directly on the website but we have matched TexCharge Red BS 153 for specific printers and we have it in stock

If you can match Red YS, I'll buy it in 5's. I have had 2 other companies say they would do it, but it has never paned out or been as good!

We've already matched that one too, the other companies we supply to replaced the Sericol colors so I have to assume they were acceptable

CCI, Please link those 2 reds, I'm also interested...

They are not on our current website ( new website coming soon ) but as they are specials I'm not sure they will be on there either. We've sent sample to TCT , if he feels they are good enough we'll make them available , if not I guess we have more work to do

We have used CCI for years and still do. Our go to discharge ink. There are ways to boost your reds so curious to check this out. How do I purchase a gallon or two of this red? I'm down for a premixed red since we have all our own formulas

We got the YS and probably BS(sorry I've been out of town, new equipment, new baby on the way, so just a bit all over) from CCI last week. The YS is AWESOME. Without hesitation we are replacing the Sericol that we have used for 10+ years at this point. We tried the CCI Fox Red when it first came out but felt it was too "watermelon" of a red and didn't really give it another thought. Whatever they choose to call the new stuff will be a easy switch! At this point we have washed it 3 times and there is no difference. Super excited here all around!
The one thing we did notice is we always activated the Sericol at 3%, the CCI Red really needed the 5% activator. Nothing wrong with that, just thought I should point that out as I know many people activate their reds at a lower %. I actually rather it all be at the same % to remove a variable if someone new is mixing ink.
Thumbs up all around! SUPER happy this post popped up!
