ok i hear all this talk of retarteder this thinner that when referring to nazdar 2700 inks......
ok here is the question
which fuckin one do you need?????
standalone the ink dries quick as fuck
but i did a little sperrimrnt a few days ago....
i simply thinned it with a lil nazdar thinner....
i still have some sitting out in a cup and it still shown no signs of drying....
i printed a run of stickers with this formula and no drying in the screen...
so what gives????? do i even need the fuckin retarder????
well i know i dont but what are your views?????????
so..........lets hear it ........ THINNER vs RETARDER
what are your views? |

I use this stuff
When properly mixed the thinner works just fine for small runs (50 or so stickers) I also only run 3 deck graphics max...at a time.
I don't even know a product number for retarder.
Maybe it makes everything work for large runs, I don't know.
Anyone else want to put in some info? |

I use thinner...works fine but I never do large runs...just a few prints at a time and I wash my screens right after because I'm afraid  |

use this Retarder from Nazdar: RE192 at 5-10% by weight. I would only add it to the ink you will be using that day, keep your screen flooded between prints, don�t have a fan blowing near your print station.
All thinners do is make it thinner (hince the name). The retarder keeps it from drying in the screen. Flood coats are very important too |

I used the retarder with mixed results... For me depending on the color of ink your using, I use more retarder for darker colors (black&blue). The white dosent seem to need as much..... anyone else having this issue?
