Discharge on 50/50 heathers

[tonypep]

Contrary to what most believe some brands/colors work quite well

good, i've got one coming up soon.

also  how well do the american apparel neons discharge?  I am thinking of doing a DC UB with plastisol on top to prevent bleeding and get good opacity.

Not sure on those> Am testing the new Gildan heathers soon. Some are 90/10

I will let you know then, because I am sure i am doing these later this week or next.

Next Level CVC line N6210/N6610 discharges well to white, triblend not so much.  Tony, what shirt is that?

a white discharge UB will not help at all. these Neons are AWFUL for bleeding. At least the yellow and orange.

i am doing pink I think.  Have you tried a DC UB on these?  Should water base inks technically not allow bleeding?

I am not looking forward to these suckers.

That shirt was a Canvass dark heather

Brad, just use a good lb white, watch the temp.  We run wfx epic quick on these, no issues.  I'd gamble half the bleed issues I'm reading about on these are from too much heat under the flash. 

Disc ub sounds like an unnecessary hassle. They don't discharge well at all in my experience.

Tony I can't see yer pic but we've been stunned at how well some poly blends can discharge.

oh theres the pic, nice yellow, whose is it?

Neat.
Was it a US 'guaranteed dischargable' style, or an imported style?

I just printed 500 of the antique red and orange this last week (90/10). They look nice.  The dye comes off on your hands and pallets. The dye didn't bleed into the inks. I used Wilflex quick white.

Discharged Cardinal Heather Gildan?  Yeah, it works!  Yeah its 50/50!

Most if not all of those will work. Its another myth I'll be busting April PW mag. Eleven years ago the ink mfgrs insisted that they would not work and begged me not to try. I had a bunch of Alternative Apparel colored heathers that AA gave me so we threw them on the press and bam! It was one of our ten color Indian Motorcycle Pinup Girl designs sim process discharge and that literally changed everything.
I've posted the picture before.
