| They are both good stuff. You dropped the cash for quality stuff, thats all that matters. Qfx is just a textile based emulsion. |

actually qfx is good for solvents and plastisol inks
where as qtx is just for plastisols...
solvents will react withthe qtx and try to lock in the emulsion
I use qfx only and do a lot of stickers and shirts...
I have very few problems with it other then price |

| I use QTX for waterbased and plastisol, don't use solvents so I can't elaborate on that. QTX will start to breakdown with waterbased if there is an underexposure. |

I tried it a few times using nazdar gv series and it was a bitch toreclaim the screen, the emulsion balled up really weird...
but I am thinking of looking for a lower cost emsulsion with a good burn time for solvents and plastisols. anyone got any suggestions? |

i want emulsion that changes color (drasticly) when its cured. Like from green to brown or something. That way I know when its cured and if my image is in danger of curing too.
It should be called newbiemulsion. |
