There is a place in Colorado too. They too get theirs from RGS--BUT when I talked to the owner of RGS, he didn't even know if the guy in Colorado is still in business (he is)--SO I would assume that their dyes aren't very fresh.
Either that, or they might be buying directly from a supplier such as Standard Dye, which sells to RG&S. Colorado Wholesale Dye sells rubine MX-B (reactive red 6), but I don't think RG&S does - or do they now?
To be honest, I have spoken to people in the industry and am considering doing either (or both): Running a line of discount pure mx dyes in pound containers at discount prices -OR- Offering ProCHEM through here.
I plan to order from you, when that happens, and of course to list you among the dye suppliers on my site. Until then, ProChem is my favorite source, too.
I am not going to restrict discussion of providers--but I ask that all refrain from overt advertising!
It seemd very counterproductive on the old fiber arts forum when mentioning a competing supplier became taboo. I still wonder who got banned in that kerfuffle. I understand that it must have been frustrating to be providing all that free technical support for Dharma's customers (they should be paying for their own customer support by providing more reliable technical info when their customers call them!), but it just seemed like it might have been more productive to somehow make that clearer to people.
