Sericol is (almost) all direct, ships outta K.C. although Jim at Dimensional appears to be selling it as well. They do gallons and that's it I believe. They're geared toward big batch orders of prouduct but are now opening up to smaller orders, actually sent me gallon samples. Which is cool as it's RFU and can be used un-activated as regular WB. Everyone else seems pretty jazzed about it, I'll let you know what we find soon. We also have all of CCI's product in here to side-by-side with.
Shame about the Rutland, I was just hoping Westar would pick up the WB-99 so we could buy from them. The Texcharge is actually a very long-standing product, 20 yrs I believe I was told, so I would imagine next to every issue that could be addressed with them has been by now. I'm not ruling out that we'll need to strain inks with any brand though. I haven't had to do it with my TW ink yet but then we aren't opening those cans all the live long day.
I got me these guys to hopefully eliminate some of those issues.
