We do these every couple years for a local school.  Plasticharge print.  I hate them, but the school and kids love them, and pay dearly for them.
Had a buddy make up the extenders for some other oversized jobs we do (where we probably should have said no!) so we can put oversized screens on the press or flip a regular screen horizontal.
This job was T's and Hoodies.  2 screens, 1 for smalls & mediums.  1 for large -2XL.  Went with plasticharge because I can't ever get an acceptible gold/athletic gold with straight discharge without it turning yellow.

... depends if you're a professional functioning drunk or not...  I run shirts all the time while having a beer or 2... ROFL.

Back on track sorta...

I just got a request to print around and over the pocket on pocket T's... customer asked for discharge...

fairly large order, so it has to go on the auto... 

suggestions on if I should get some neoprene or foam padding?  or with a soft squeegee and enough pressure can I get away with just running them normally?  I'm thinking that the foam would help get the ink 'around' the seams of the pocket better?

...at the time anyway, LOL

Steve

why does this remind me of something? My boss (before that was me) called me at 2:00 am once; there was a job that the salesman was supposed to drive up to Vermont in the morning, and my boss and best friend got so f'd up, that they couldn't register a 2 color print, so I went in and did it for them. Fortunately, I was only stoned...
