Thread: bleeding problems

What brand of colorant?

I noticed 2 weeks ago the X2 orange bleeds over time too. I'll take pics of it later when I'm home.

I brought that problem up with Do It a long time ago and I'm not sure there is a fix. It's a slow bleed, but it still is a bleed. I have an MF Orange that bleeds like no tomorrow but it's not marked as a non bleeder so it must be the other.

I have used the X2 orange and I have never had any bleeding problems that goes on all of the X2 stuff none of them have bleed on me. we had problems with other companies you have to be careful if you do buy colors make sure that they are non-bleed and if you are on certain before you order come on here and ask us. when you guys are doing the orange make sure that you do not get carried away that stuff goes a long ways in the X2. I have switched over completely to all of the x2 colors I do not use anything else.

I only us x2 colorant from do-it......So far this is the only color that bleeds that I have tried

I'm going to have to make up the combination of orange in chartreuse to see if it will bleed over but I never had that problem with the 2X maybe I was not waiting long enough usually they go out the door before I get to see it they bleed. none of my customers have complained yet.

I have had my X2 orange bleed over time as well. Zero problems with the other X2 colorants though.

The X2 Orange can be strange. I think it depends on how strong of a color you mix it to be. I am also convinced that by keeping the color (all X2 colors for that matter) thoroughly mixed all the times it will not bleed. I feel that there may be a component in the Orange that settles out and if it's not completely mixed back in bleeding can occur. I've only had a bleeding issue with the Orange twice in all of the years I have used it.
