Somebody Correct here

Ok work done so I'm checking screen print vids on the net, and I run across this vid that title screen printing on black shirts without a white underbase, so I'm like gotta check this out.  Had to laugh when the first color they printed was white, but they printed white no flash and the other 3 colors direct on the shirt wow them flashed.  Came back and repeated the same process wow, now tell me where is the benefit to that?, think I would have printed the white flashed printed white again just using the one white screen and one stroke the other 3 colors wow and done...I'm I missing something here....oh then I thinking if I got the right screen mesh and white ink I'm only printing the underbase white once or 2 strokes flash and then wow with the other 3 colors.

Only makes sense on a manual and because it would be much faster to setup using the no base method.  We do this on the manual from time to time but I wouldn't print the white first in that scenario.  With a print like that and an underbase and your average manual press...setup time will be long.

Pretty sure ALL the colors in the TOP SCORE line are made to print WITHOUT and underbase.

Yes it was a manual press, I was thinking auto...@ Jason yep colors didn't overlap each other all butt reggie.

That's kind of how we printed in the mid seventies, before flashing was developed. However, the general rule was dark colors to light, usually meaning white last, but if the white parts were mostly small bits, the next brightest color, if taking up more surface area, was printed last. I started on Vastex 4 color manual.
