...So I am finally starting to get my feet wet with this whole discharge thing. Right now my goal is to nail down printing a discharge base and plastisols directly on top, no flashing. For runs of maybe 200 and higher.
...I think I have the stencil/screen down pat, switched to CCI WR25 & HardenerX, and the screen lasted the full 700 pcs today.
...Also tried the D-white, based down 80/20 with their base and 6% powder. Discharged pretty well, but it sure seems like the ink started drying pretty fast. Didnt take long before it was stiff, to the point of not flooding very well. For those of you that use this product, can I thin this down with water? I realize the pigment load will be affected, but as long as the correct amount of d/c agent is added, would the water content matter?
...while I am here, I would love to hear any input on specific in how you print this as an unflashed underbase. Mesh count, squeegee durometer, number of passes, meshes for top colors. etc. One thing I did have trouble with today was getting the screen to clear with anything less than heavy pressure, which in turn affected the waterbased adhesives and I had some registration issues late in the run.
..sorry, Im kinda all over the place here, my brain is cooked. so I dunno...discuss! Lets let it go where it may.
...Thanks you guys!!
