Red ink on Black shirts
« on: August 20, 2015, 04:46:32 PM »
Anybody know of a good red that will pop on black shirts with a PFP -- NO WHITE UNDERBASE--  This is a small left chest logo that has some really fine red writing and printing manually as we do, a white underbase is going to be tough without any white showing from behind the red.  Let me know!! 
Thanks

Yellowish red/true red/blue-er red?
Mesh Count?
How big are the open areas of ink coverage? (i.e. will you have much opportunity to see shirt fibers?)

if application allows, Sericol red BS/YS discharge is perfect for this.

I use QCM XOLB for PFP Red. No underbase needed.

QCM xolb red is pretty nice for. PFP with no underbase. It doesn't pop as well as an underbase will but will be still cover and look nice.

Thanks. We use mostly QCM inks anyway for our colors so we will give that a go.

Union maxopake brite red.
Same here, Union MAXE Brite Red or Flag Red. We found the QCM XLOB Reds to below standard. Standard being the Union Inks for us.

The colors are actually different between the two.

QCM is a deeper truer red.

Union has more white to it.
