How would you run this?

Thanks Gil (I suppose!) Said it before but DC blends w/ no UB rule. Just can't do it as well with Plas. When the dots steam off they "melt" together just a bit, resulting in an almost seamless fade.

Nothing but love man, it's just too damn good!

Here's my thinking on this. The image looks like it should work best with a gray base down first. and one white on top using a mesh that will put down a little more ink for bright coverage. That should be a 230.


The base gray down first, on 305 mesh provides a light lay down...that will soak into the shirt more...helping the fade. The gray ink will be (just enough) to help support the top white to stay bright enough. You don't need a bright white down first (to support the top white). Since the art at the fade is gray, this makes for a very good choice.

I agree with this, makes sense to me.  It will help it "disappear" into the shirt.

mid level gray fades out at 15-20% on a black shirt. By going gray (and adjusting) you can achieve a cleaner, smoother fade out. Adding white on top will give you the white color you need. So gray for fade outs and white for color. Problem is getting the gray to white transition right.

p.s. reason why you want to print it at 15-20% is that it's easier to hold that open than the 3% that fades out with white ink.
