in a pinch on 100% poly
« on: May 31, 2012, 09:09:28 PM »
The only LB ink I have is white. I need to print navy ink in orange with regular plastisol, will that work?

If you mean navy ink ON orange, no problems.  The other way around, problems.   :)

I'm thinking a lb white underbase is probably what's gonna have to happen.

A nice transparent orange will look better on a white underbase then an opaque orange PFP anyway, IMHO.

I have some just not thinking right. I was hoping not to have to underbase but it'd look better if I did. Its a 24 hour turnaround type of job. Those always have problems.

Alot of times I don't call it a rush charge, I just add it into the quote per piece. This is for a broker who never asked me for a price sheet so he calls me each time for a quote which I don't mind.

180-230 seems high for a basic underbase. I'd go 110-156. I print 100% poly almost every day. Just did navy on wednesday, came out great.
