Screen Printers Open - A Forum for Screen Printing and Embroidery

This is gonna be a fairly large order of 600-1000pcs and I want to avoid flashing if at all possible. What do you guys think? I was thinking of using a white discharge over the whole design but the red/black because of the text being so thin would probably be difficult to line up. Give me your thoughts please.

This one is pretty easy for you Gerry. Flashing should not slow you down. Print your base white, flash, red, flash if needed, highlight white for your grays. You have two flashes right for that machine? If not the red should be fine running it wet. The only thing you may want to play with is how bright you want that red on the silver shirt. Try the red on its own and if its good tape off the text on your base screen. Its a pretty small area. For the red shirt I would print black, base white, flash, highlight white. The time you will lose in slowing down your dryer for discharge is just not worth it. That new press you have should have rear micros so registering it should be cake.

Well you know me.

I would print the colors first and do a white low puff...no flash.

It would even be a cool effect on the foot.

I use Union Plasti-puff additive.

For me I would go about 10% in a 158 screen hit it twice wet on wet to cover all the fabric holes in.

run at reg t temps and on the other end...you can even watch it in the dryer...it will rise up and then fall right on exit.

 I would be after a textured white not a real puff, but it will make a nice opaque textured white.
