Stirring Plastisol before printing

[Maxie]

We work in a fairly hot climate so we usually print plastisol straight from the bucket.      I was at FESPA and Anatol had units for mixing inks in the bucket.
Do you stir before printing?
Whats's the advantage of stirring before use?

I mainly stir the white ink.  It partially warms the ink and makes it much easier to deal with.  We use One Stroke Hybrid LC pro white which is much easier already but stirring makes the ink that much better.

Stirring the ink breaks down the viscosity and makes it more printable, Not always necessary for most colors and conditions but almost always great for the white UB

I didn't but now I do, the white ink for sure to help it print better

We bought the Revolve Ink mixer.  It was definitely one of the cheapest ink mixers but does the Job just fine.

I mix white ink all the time and colors that have been sitting for a while. I think it just makes the first prints/set up smoother...
