Agreed on bright blues, as stated in my initial post, it's a tough row to hoe. fwiw, Sericols blues are the best I've seen for pig quality, CCI pro blue in at a solid second, I actually feel like a much brighter blue can be mixed out of the CMS system v the RFU d-flo. Rutlands blue pigs have left a lot to be desired for us, they just seem 'dirty'
Also, as stated, I did not feel the pic was trying to advertise falsely, we've already ran the ink and results were just like the daylight pic. I just didn't realize the other was blacklight and thought "what are we doing wrong?".
Great advice all around. We print flouros on a 150/48 with a 2x pass. This mesh is likely more open than a standard thread 138. We will occasionally print DC on a 135/48 but this often results in over penetration. There is no hard and fast on mesh for DC, penetration through the fabric along with a wash test is the guidepost.
