Shimmers on 50/50 tend to bleed?

[endhymns]

Resurrecting this thread for a quick question. A client wants to run a gold shimmer on an order, half on 100% cotton tees and half of the order of NL 60/40 tanks (navy). While I'd love to talk them into 100% cotton tanks as well, before I go that route I wanted to see if I should expect an issue not underbasing on the 60/40 tanks? I have a small oven and struggle keeping my temp low for an appropriate dwell time so my gut tells me I should use a black blocker ub. My preferred route would be to use a wb black blocker with warp drive and Wilflex Gold Shimmer on top, but as a less appealing alternative, I could run Wilflex Performance in the ub as well. Regardless, I'd love to run the 100% cotton and blends the same for a similar look. Thoughts on this?

 endhymns, We use Rutland shimmers here and have never had an issue with dye migration on blends but then again with gold shimmer we tend to ub with vegas gold as we think it makes the shimmer gold "pop" a bit more.

we use the union shimmers.. we have not had any problems bleeding..on any garments..

That's what I was hoping to hear. I'll give this a go without an ub and if I run into any issues, I'll run a Vegas Gold base which sounds ideal. Thanks for the responses, guys.

I use and love wilflex epic liquid gold and it is a performance ink.  Never had any issues with bleeding and have printed it without an underbase on black poly a few times and a bunch of comfort colors and blends that tend to bleed a little.

Of course, it's a true metallic and not a shimmer

We haven't seen major bleed with true metallics and smaller/mid size particle inks (shimmers) but have seen it get bad with glitters.  I think there's just so much clear base there for dye to work into and so much space between the flakes that you end up seeing it. 

It's going to really come down to your fabric, test it!
