waterbase highlights and discharge bases
« on: April 02, 2014, 10:19:59 AM »
Is this a no no? Would it work on triblends or blended tees in general?

I've done it a few times in the past for clients, but it's always been a rush, and we've never had time to properly test the washing aftercare.

Just wondering what the general thoughts on this are

standard wb on top of DC?  That's a go.  You'll want to watch out for overprint areas getting pasteled out from the DC beneath though.

We used Wilflex Fashion Soft Base instead of waterbased inks for that purpose. I find it hard to tell a difference between them in terms of the "hand"
