Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

i've taken it as high as 95/5 just enough to see the base before it runs down the dryer...i've had issues when stacking plastisol on top of any discharge underbase with a high pigment load

On certain colors with certain colors being printed on top you can use just straight base. IE a dark
red on black garments. Less white less sticky.
