One Stroke Inks new ink

[3Deep]

Just got off the phone with One Stroke, thanks Tom for the pic that's what I'm looking for printed feedback, I would love to replace my DC inks with this ink because of the limits garments and disadvantage of my shops setup to run DC. Also Tom what about the drying in the screens? does it really act like a plastisol and you leave it and come back with no worry.

No drying in the screens. Has a consistency slightly thicker then process ink. All colors were printed through 300 s-mesh. White was hit twice while wet, flashed, then the last three wet on wet.

Did you print the white underneath anything other colors, or was that to it clean where white butted up against other colors?
If you printed on top of the white, how'd that go? Still super soft? Good texture?

Prince Art, none of the colors were underbased.

Yeah, didn't really expect so on sand tees. Still, curious what these ink would do if underbased, or used as an underbase. (I know they're intended to be printed w-o-w.)

Just ordered One Strokes sample kit of water color inks, so once it gets here I'll see what it's all about or I've just tossed a little money away, but hoping it will take the place of some DC inks.

It won't replace discharge.  We ran a couple jobs with it.  It has it's place.  We are doing some on Next Level's heavy metal.  I will try and post a pic.

It does give you a nice soft handed print.  Not very bright though.

That's what I'd like to us it for Next Level and Ringspun light color shirts, which will have nice pastel color

Ok got my kit of inks awhile back, still have not used them all but what I do like is the black inks, most of us might say black ink is black ink, but it does have a print difference.  Printing my regular black inks on light colors say white shirt without a nice medium to hard stroke or double stroke you can see something like pinholes in the ink if you hold the shirt up to light, but with One Strokes water color black it penetrated the shirt nice in one pass leaving a nice black solid print.  what made me thing of this was reading another post and they talked about printing two blacks one for the picture the other for texts to get a nice solid black text, I believe if you use 1 Strokes black you could achieve this in one print pass and get a nice black text and pic with halftones.  These inks might have a place in my shop once I get more into them, plus the print is soft hand.

We just ran our first sample of the white, a single hit on a Canvas tri-blend dark heather, then a PFP; the PFP looked a little, well, plasticky... the single hit didn't cover, but looked perfectly natural, and the customer really liked it, which counts the most. Through a 230 mesh for those wondering. As someone said, it has it's place...

Hi everybody,

 I just wanted to post some Watercolor pics from our great customers. These guys & gals have pushed  the Watercolor series to new limits with great success.

We have a wide range of mesh that was used, everything from 158 - 305.

WOW printing, not a problem.
Soft prints, not problem.
Golf towels, not a problem.

 If you are looking for something new, something that will speed up your production. Look no further.  Give this series try, you will not be sorry .

Show me white on CC pig dyed Crimson

I don't think these are intended to be bleed resistant Tony.

But let's see these after 5 wash/dry cycles. Fibrilation is always the enemy in this application.

I do like the idea of bringing small towels back into the fold for some customers and may also be something nice for a couple of yoga clothing customers I have, though they are very happy with our work, all plastisol.

Can you tell use what the print procedure was for the whites we're seeing? I was under the impression a discharge base (or a heavier plastisol base) was necessary to obtain bright colors & whites on dark substrates with this ink.
