« on: August 23, 2013, 03:46:22 PM »
Ok I did my first Discharge Test Print today. It turned out like S....t. Cardinal Tee (Hanes) Bright Green looked pretty good, White looked Pink, and Black looked Dark Grey. Used Union Inks,
50/50,Ink to Additive, 6% Agent.

on Gildan's list, Cardinal is showing as B for dischargeability.

no activator in the black ink (that's what made it gray, same rookie mistake we made few months ago).

did you try it on other color shirts?

when you say 50/50, does that mean you used plasticharge?

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!

We discharge Gildan Cardinal with white all the time. I'd give it an A to be honest.

Sounds like Plasticharge, which with many colors will never be the breathtaking moment
that your first discharge print is.
