problem overprinting red

[blue moon]

underbase is 110, red and grey are 230, 100% cotton shirt, effect is immediate

your red ink is probably both translucent and the deposit is too thin.

start with high opacity ink and then use a thicker stencil. Beware, hi opacity inks do not print well wet on wet and you should probably flash after printing it.

We always print the red right before the flash (and with thicker mesh) to keep it as bright as possible.

we always had this issue using wilflex standard epic colors. red and royal always presented an issue for us with the inks changing color a bit. when we started using their Rio system, the inks are a more opaque. now if someone asks for a standard red over an underbase, we use the Rio red directly out of the bucket, no mix. it covers great and has no issues going through higher meshes.

Yup, try an HO red printed last and you should be good.  Cardinals are the worst around here.  Those and blues.  For overprinting we switched over to either Smart Series or the Comfort FF Series.

Not idea and production friendly, but you can flash the red and reprint, I've had to do this a time or two, can't remember what blend shirt it was that I had this problem on.
