multicolor wow discharge

[ericheartsu]

The imprint is a very large white print, with a small red print in the corner. What order would you set the screens up in?

[ericheartsu]

And what do you guys think the appropriate off contact should be for this?

Red then white.  I sometimes have to double stroke a first down color to keep it vibrant after the other colors go down, but that's typically only needed on four colors and up.

I know it's not the goal here, but a quick flash on the red could be used if wow gets problematic.

Oh and I go on contact

we typically flash between the colors, to make sure they stay vibrent, but i'm trying to avoid this, for this particular job!

but i'm also trying to learn from this experiment, by getting you guys to give me your advice!

Flashing btwn colors will begin to cook and gel the inks watch out for Zombies! Seriously we never ever do this.

Don't know! We printed ( 2 sided jobs already without stopping once to do anything this morning. Its SAP for them. And use different bases and whites sometimes need to use whats at hand.

Yup, just printed a six color wow discharge no flashing. 900 pieces. Darkest ink to lightest on this job. White last as always. Looks awesome!

2600 red/white coming up now f/b. Suspecting high tension and off contact issues. As said above we're about 15n almost no off contact. This used to make the gurus Bat crap Crazy when I told them no Roller Frames for me thanx. Matter of fact I've got a crap ton for sale 23x 35 all meshed and clean.

And here is the front after 1,000 hits no stops.
Hint: always print reds last for maximum pow!

That looks like plastisol to me Tony. Is that a base white peeking out from under the red?

[tonypep]

My apologies and good catch! I just ran out and checked  and its a DCUB! And good thing probably because it's on Canvass goods. But the red last comment is a little known fact BTW. I'll post one of those when we get to one.
This photo does not apply!

So if you are printing red and white discharge Tony you print the red last?
We always print white last, even in that situation. Oddly enough we're doing it
right now and the red imprint is much larger than the white, probably should
have reversed it.

[tonypep]

Yes we do. Not flashing but a slight steaming. All of our whites have base in them so pickup almost never happens. No one knows why the reds print bolderlast. I discovered this by accident. Not sure if a customer would notice though. You'll see it side by side comparrison
