Specifically the Aquaflex or the Super White DC.

The DC White was very nice out of the bucket/on press but not white enough for us.  Great characteristics though and needed no additives like others do.

The HSA we tested, and we tested it thoroughly, was good but didn't perform over a DC UB. 

I think it's good product all around it just hasn't dovetailed in with our shop.

Not sure which of their DC whites I tested (assuming they have multiple), but same experience as zoo.  It just wasn't very white.  I also thought it was actually too runny out of the bucket.  Made cleanup a mess.

I was impressed with the DC white when I opened the bucket. But when I activated it and started working with it I too felt like it was way too runny.

That's actually what I loved about it.  I like DC White runny as hell.

cant stand the smell of magna.. dont know whats in there but the smell is to much for me and it softens the plastic deli cups we all use for WB.

It is the most chemical smelling ink we have used, I agree with that. I got turned off to them due to poor representation/information. It also seemed like they kept changing names of things. We were sampled a gallon of one of their DC whites, it was nice and thin/runny and immediately bought a 5. showed up with the consistency of frosting. Sales rep was kinda clueless, and said that they had a tainted shipment(guessing that was BS) and sent out another 5. That showed up exactly the same  >:(
After that we figured screw 'em!

We were in a jam a couple weeks ago where nazdar was out of our CCI D-BASE.I had no option but to get the magna base.. We ended up making black with the remaining 7 gallons. The magna is not compatable with rutland wb pigments is all I can say

Next time call CCI directly. They usually have no problem taking a direct order and can overnight if needed.
