Looking for Printer who uses solvent-based Nazdar

[lil_tuffy]

I need to do a simple silver half-tone image on black paper. I tried replicating it with speedball but it's just not up to snuff.

Looking for a solvent-based printer.

PM me, plz.

Enamel or poster ink?

[andydiesel]

use creslite metallic powder in gloss varnish speedball, its a dead on match for 9700 nazdar solvent based

Oh god, go with what Andy said. Doing silver halftones in solvent is asking for a nightmare.

If you have a scale, mix 15% powder to the weight of the base ink you're using. Make sure to wear a mask so you won't inhale that sh*t.

Aluminum powder in 59000 looks awesome on back paper.
What's the lpi?

[lil_tuffy]

I'm reprinting a poster (at the request of the band) I printed at the firehouse a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it's 40 lpi (I can't recall).

I tried printing with speedball silver and tried making my own silver but haven't had much success.

I don't know what powder pigment I was using. I'll try the crestlite.

who knew that reprinting a one-color poster would be such a pain in the ass.

I use powders in TW Clear or their Clear for pearlescents and metallics. Works fine.

Pretty much the nazdar solvent stuff FUCKS me UP.

I've only done a few jobs with that crap and I'm already 15% stupider.

Midwest carries the creslite stuff I think. If it's hella expensive and you go for it, I could theoretically split a pound with you...
