How about wash tests? How did it hold up?Is the cure time/settings through the dryer different considering it's HSA? How did it perform on press with flashing? Did you have to change your flash temps or dwell time?Quick white is our jam, we love how fast it flashes and so little tak on the next screen. We keep our plastisol prints separated from our WB/DC/HSA prints since the drying/curing variables are so different. On a rare occasion we'll do a discharge base with plastisol top colors, but we've had mixed results through extended wash tests.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
First I didn't read every post here so I might be asking something after ready mentioned, but anyway we've use a DC underbase with plastisol on top and wow the print was great and wash test was great. Now the problem there s every shirt order we print here want discharge, how do you get around that or does a good water base white ink print nice and bright as a underbase? If I could use DC/waterbase white inks for an underbase on all shirt colors and blends I'd love that a bunch.

In fact, we regularly will print HSA on garments that are discharge friendly, depending on the client, and what the purpose of the shirts are for.

We ran at 10ft/ min with 12 ft of heat with the temp set at 340 degrees.. We did 5 wash tests and yoiu could not tell the print had been washed. I don't think it needs that much retention time though. we just sent off also for Disney testing. The killer base was formulated to over print with plastisol and that's how they are marketing it. Atotally different situation than overprinting discharge with plastisol.

Atotally different situation than overprinting discharge with plastisol.Let me quote the Data Sheet for the Magna Killerbase"After printing the garment/panel should be cured, ideally for 1½- 2 minutes at 155-165°C (310 - 330°F) *or in line with plastisol ink curing requirements.
