sorry to drag this from the dead, but thanks to everyone we printed these really cool tees on Friday!



they look way brighter in person, but the print still came out great. We did this with 2 screens. 4 different discharge colors, and a white!

Close enough. Sodium alginate(seaweed)

Got one here tonight searching S Mesh and ended up learning you can use seaweed as a thickener. Ok TSB, I dig it! Do any shops keep seaweed on hand still?

Only in my pantry to add to miso broth, LOL!

haha, what frog said.

We just got some of Matsui's thickener in to use as needed to bring some parity to the viscosity of DC and WB inks on a run.  Can't report on how it does with DC yet.

Can't comment on the Matsui products however...... sodium algenate is a good consideration for WB/DC. Important to note to incorporate in to the base prior to pigment. BTW its fairly inexpensive based on marked up products.
