Title: District DM130 waterbased or discharge
Post by: cclaud3 on January 23, 2020, 09:31:02 AM

I have 100 each of DM130 in Green Frost & Purple Frost. Being triblends and typically the worst discharge colors Kelly green & purple, I'm assuming they won't discharge clean. Leaning towards regular waterbased, but concerned about bleed. I have a full matsui lineup including bleed blocker. Anybody run these 2 specific models in these colors either discharge or waterbased without bleed blocker? I will do some testing later today but just curious before we start that.

2 color print on front, 5 colors on back. Solid vector art. Thanks

what did you end up figuring out?  Did you run with bleed blocker?

We ultimately printed non-discharge waterbased and they looked great. I did test both shirt colors with white discharge prints and the green dm130 was fine. Purple dm130 was muted and I would not recommend for discharge.

 No bleed blocker
