screen mesh for discharge

[mjrprint]

We ran these on Friday. All 230's. Underprint was a 230 discharge base. These were all done with a single pass no double stroking. Super bright and a great soft hand print.

Did you discharge on press after the underbase was printed? I was testing some prints the other day and was having problems with some colors. Mainly on royal shirt the base was discharging to orange. I know this is one of the problem colors with the blue dye that doesn't discharge. I need to find a work around for this though because we will still have to print them.

We flashed the base just until edges started to discharge. Thats all it needed. We did that to prevent buildup on the next screens. Thats also why we used a 230. If you saturate the garment it will be a b i t c h to just flash it enough. You are kind of F'd on the Royal. We wanted to us discharge for a school that we do a lot of work for and unfortunately they always use Royal. We made a few attempts and I saw Tony's bad color list and was bummed.

I forgot to add that those top colors are all plastisol on 230's. Only the base was discharge. Had all the color been WB there would have been no flash.

Yep I figured I'm in trouble. There are 3 other colors in the line that are just as bad as royal too.

Most Royal/Kelly/Purps discharge to an ochre color which pretty much excludes them from the process.

When you discharge a school job, do you wash the shirts before delivery. I am always worried about kids and chemicals.

We do post wash the garments prior to delivery.
