first discharge print

[balloonguy]

I would like to thank Dan for the seps and Tony for the advice. I learned a lot and will be exploring in more detail.
This is done with a 110 for the base. The base is from Ryonet ( i think cci) with a drop of yellow and tiny drop of red pigment concentrate. I printed brown and yellow plastisol on 305s for the top colors. Print order [/img]was base, yellow then brown with no flash. I have a small infrared dryer (vastex econo red 2). It has a 36" chamber. I had the temp at 690 and the belt painfully slow. I ran samples with through 1, 2 and 3 times. 1 really was enough at the speed I was going. I was able to dry 42 shirts in just about an hour...
Sorry the picture sucks but the print looks and feels GREAT!!!

Nice print. I think the more you deal with waterbase the more you will like it. I have been doing waterbase stuff every week since I ran my first job. I like it and think I will be doing alot more in the future.

Thanks Matt,


Much appreciated. It was fun trying to work something out on this project. Tight budget, limited colors, This was a good option.
I'm sure you will be doing more of them now.




Thanks
Dan

It never fails in this industry - whenever someone posts a print online, they always pull our their worst camera/take their worst photo and make it a point to say it. . LOL. I think I'm going to take a 20 megapixel closeup shot of a 1 color spot plastisol color on a white shirt tomorrow just to unhinge the pattern :-).

Congrats on the discharge though - hope to get down and dirty with it soon - hopefully with similar success.

Taking quality pictures of shirts is surprisingly hard.

im not a professional photographer by any means, but i have a nice camera, a good flash and a pro lens.  i often take photos of shirts to send to the customer and im never satisfied with how it looks.

Seriously.

When I used to work at the homebrew supply place, the guy that took pictures of hops and valves and stuff for the web site/catalog
would setup a little white box thing with several lights and whatnot. We probably need something like that to even approximate
correct color representation/finish. I smell another thread.

If you want good photos take the pictures in sun light. Best lighting by far. If you can't do that then get some of those daylight bulbs. It doesn't take much more than a up to date phone to get good photos with good light.
