I'd like to have more stuff like Danny and Brandt post.  The designs Brandt posts are a great example of breaking up the images so that it's not a huge slab of ink going down.  That makes a huge difference in printability and breaking up the art with the distressed patterns and halftones helps a ton with opacity.  Distress patterns are a great tool that everyone should try to use for those large open area designs.

We sort of went the other way and re-invented the one color print with ridiculously fat margin.

And if Brandt and Danny printed that stuff with DC well....that would be something

Tell that to the Silicon Valley. Discharge is almost a necessity due to the large flat vector nature of tech
work.

Our customer base being mostly automotive and vintage cars being so popular right now everyone wants vintage/old looking stuff and we love printing it too so it works out pretty good.

Love to have you out and show us how.  Honestly can see how many customers of ours would love it, some would absolutely not though.  We actually have a direct competitor in our "niche" that uses a lot of discharge and we have some of his customers now that do not like it.  He may or may not be doing it right though ive only seen a few in person and they weren't the worst ive seen.

It could be arranged you can PM me. True enough most car shirts athletic merch does not need to be DC but change is in the air.

Tony, figured I'd let you know that I'm now running over 75% of my sim process jobs with a discharge underbase!!! I will come right out and say that our printing is BETTER with the discharge underbase and a big reason I have been pushing myself to do discharge is you..... Slowly I'm doing more and more with discharge/waterbase products and thats probably mostly because of you so thanks for that! LOL

I'm a firm believer that discharge base gives us a better print then plastisol base 100%
