Title: Red ink on Black shirts
Post by: XG Print on August 20, 2015, 04:46:32 PM: Anybody know of a good red that will pop on black shirts with a PFP -- NO WHITE UNDERBASE-- This is a small left chest logo that has some really fine red writing and printing manually as we do, a white underbase is going to be tough without any white showing from behind the red. Let me know!!
Thanks

Mesh Count?
How big are the open areas of ink coverage? (i.e. will you have much opportunity to see shirt fibers?)

Post by: Shanarchy on August 20, 2015, 06:15:03 PM: QCM xolb red is pretty nice for. PFP with no underbase. It doesn't pop as well as an underbase will but will be still cover and look nice.

Union maxopake brite red.
Same here, Union MAXE Brite Red or Flag Red. We found the QCM XLOB Reds to below standard. Standard being the Union Inks for us.

Post by: Colin on August 21, 2015, 09:41:57 AM: The colors are actually different between the two.

QCM is a deeper truer red.

Union has more white to it.

For those of you that never tried our Colormax Series, you might be missing out. Colormax True Red in my opinion is our best color. Take a look at the spec sheet below and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Robert
