Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison

Discharge and water base ink in general is very forgiving for printing wet-on-wet to mix colors. Just try to keep white pigment out of the mix until the last screen. (it builds up on the screens really quick)This was done with 4 colors on Gildan "sand" shirts. The gold and orange are discharge, (the make them "pop", the black and light blue are regular Matsui wb.The gold and orange fade down and up respectively from 100% to 0% to simulate a split fountain. The blue, orange and gold mix at varying percentages to make secondary and tertiary colors. (light and dark greens, light blue, browns, tans, etc.)Most of the extra colors are buried in the details... hard to see in the pic.This was mostly separated in GIMP, then pulled into Corel Photo-Paint to do the fades/channels.

That means discharging was not complete. There should be very little if any smell post dryer.

One of my old friends has a poster shop in Emeryville (actually they just moved to Alameda) called Monolith Press that does the posters, an old friend of mine did that art... Do you know those guys Evo?!http://monolithpress.net/The specific OM poster post is back from Sept 2009 on that link above...I do know those guys. I worked on the colors for the shirt with Davey, this was actually printed to simulate the split fountain that Monolith did on the posters.

Mauz is an old buddy of mine from SoCal where we both grew up. Our families go camping every year, and I think he may even be bringing his family and mom over to our place for Thanksgiving. Did you know he just moved? Got a nice much larger shop on the old Alameda Naval Weapons station. He bought a new press last year too, things are looking great around there...I recently read an older post from you selling equipment. We needed that dryer for a new shop in Napa, but when I had finally seen the post, you had already sold everything. I was bummed I missed it cause that would have been perfect...
