I went ahead and purchased an 8oz tin from southern-ink.com, to test out. I just tested it today and it does stay open and dries quick, especially helpful when I miss and I accidentally print on my tympan sheet. I loaded it in the morning… Went to lunch…came back and ran the press. If you want to see a photo, I posted it on my Instagram, http://www.instagram.com/teeneemiI’m also very happy with the pigment. It looks pretty spot on to me. They are offering free shipping on all orders within the U.S. I will definitely have to order more.
