Title: Textile PV, ChromaBlue, or QLT
Post by: CSPGarrett on February 14, 2015, 05:50:02 PM

Any thoughts on the above?  We have been using Textile PV for a very long time but just cracked open a sample quart of ChromaBlue to try that we have had.  We also have a quart of QLT to try.

I will say the ChromaBlue was extremely smooth to apply.

What type of printing do you do?

We switched from chromablue to kiwo one coat and never looked back.  One vendor tried to fix a screw up by giving us a tree gallon of chroma and we couldn't wait to be done with it and to back to kiwo.

I use chromablue, why did you switch?

Kiwo is just as good without the tackiness (baby powder mess) and with chroma line our developing tank smelled terrible in just a week or so.  Anytime we took the lid off, everyone in the shop knew.

Did you find exposure times about the same?

I'm not even sure we changed our light units on the exposure unit.
