Hi,
I had a Da Vinci brush before I got the Richeson. It was a great looking=20
brush and I thought it would work great.... and I think it was only $25. I=
=20
used it a few times and then my PT/PD printing started to go bad=E2=80=94I t=
hought at=20
first it had to do with chemistry and got fresh FO, etc... then I noticed th=
at=20
there was a streak of rust running from both the rivets in the ferrule all t=
he=20
way down the bristles to the tips. As a test I used a fresh foam brush and=
=20
found that it wasn't my chemistry. So I tossed the Da Vince and ordered a=20
Richeson. The Richeson is really worth it. It has much better action tha=
n the=20
Da Vinci and absorbs less material. It didn't rust either=E2=80=94the rive=
ts in the=20
ferrule were stainless. =20
But then, that's just my experience. I'll stick with the Richeson.
