Sericol's CMYK discharge inks

(1/2) > >>

IntegrityShirts:
Anyone try to print with them?  I can't wrap my head around how effective they would be and can't imagine them not needing a top white along with a lot of test prints?

I've done a discharge base and plastisol cmyk on top with good results, just want to go a step further.  I mean, if Sericol makes it, they must have tested it, right??

Sbrem:
Well, I guess the four colors would discharge out, but what if there are white areas in the image, they would need a white discharge as well? Calling TonyP...

I used to make my own CYMK discharge inks. Far from doing it by the book; I set out to match Unions Tru-tone plastisols using pigments and base. 55 line CMYK 305 mesh on black and dark garments with a hi white. Rick S is more familiar with the Sericol products though.

Cool, thanks Tony.  What do you think about activating a "black discharge ink"?  Couldn't I just use a process black ink?

It will turn gray when it comes out the dryer. It's a neat way to create special effects with black discharge. Play around with it under and over a white base.. the results are interesting and can make for a really neat overprint distress.
