To reproduce this? Not for show, just a decent print on a gray shirt?

About six+ base. Got some translucent overprints so going to need to make some translucent inks. Or at least, thats what I would do

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!
