Discharge print, preflight color sequence advice

<< < (3/3)

squeegee:
So we're finally printing this discharge design today (9 colors), we mixed up the colors Friday and ran tests on the colors.  I have to say Tony's advice about starting with primary colors first and then creating secondary colors by mixing has been the most helpful tip of all.  Once you get to a tertiary mixes, getting a vibrant color is much harder.  In the sericol system we are using there are "Pantone Formulas" but they are really just suggestions, most of the 3 primary formulas look like crap and we ended up formulating with 1 or 2 primaries and then tinting/shading with white or black.

Hoping to get away with 1 stroke per color wow.  I'll post a picture of the final print.

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for the advice and hope you are not working like me on this holiday.
