I finally got my hands on the new 4013 reducer from Createx. I have to say, that I am actually surprised at how well it performs. I've tried it with wicked, illustration and base, and so far absolutely no seeding, and it doesn't seem to break the paint even when seriously over-reduced. I am really happy with it so far. It might replace my go-to 4011.
I gave up on 4012 after years of random problems and seeding of paint near randomly. Some never had this problem, but I would from time to time, usually at the wrong time. It led to flow problems, frequent clogs in my micron, and other frustrating behavior. But the 4011 still kept performing like a trooper through all of it when I would give up and go back to it. So it became my preferred reducer.
This 4013 tho, actually does seem to be a lot better. It hasn't seeded anything, flow is substantially better than even with 4011, and I feel I have more control.
I'm wondering what others have found so far.
