discharge 4CP on black?
« on: July 27, 2012, 09:44:41 AM »
has anybody tried it? It would obviously require a white, so it would end up being five colors, but it sounds intriguing . . .

not that exactly, but we've done discharge white base with plastisol cmyk on top, flash the white. I think it depends on the base color under the dye, is it natural or white? Years ago, we used to make a white printer that went down first by sandwiching the cmyk films together, cutting a mask around the image, and contacting that so we would get a film that represented the spaces between the cmyk dots; it went down first, no flash. I would think you might need at least that to start, then see what you get under the cmyk discharge.

I've done about 4 jobs using 4 clr process on black tees. Discharge white top highlight color.  The results were good and no hand. it was exciting to see process on black with no hand but still, at the same time I couldn't help but think how much brighter it might be on white tees. So, the customer then just happened to request that same job on a white tee also. So, here's the trick. You make the white print look like the print does on the black tee. Thats the goal. So they look consistent.
