You can get some surprising results ie: teal+purple=blue

I wish you worked for Brother. I have a GT541 DTG machine and still cannot get a decent purple print out of it. I know its one of the harder colors to produce but other DTG brands nail purples on the head, sadly not the Brother inks.

Ha Steve good one.
But here we were able to create 6 colors. 383 green, 360 green 2925 blue, 806 pink, 804 orange, and 809 yellow/grn with just the 3 screens.

Those are the resulting numbers, not aimed for? I keep pushing my partner to go more and more for discharge; we're working on a job now that is normally a 3 color with 2 whites and 2 flashes for a major end user, and we're using Plasticharge; it's what they are comfortable with out there. It's going on a 50/50 Canvas T, which tests have been good on. So we're setting up to print the actual logo, then want to wash it a couple of times to see how it holds up. Is that a decent plan?

The Pantones were resultant not predicted. We will do this with a variety of inks and save results in swatch books
