But not these. I'll state the obvious but the reason I believe this works is that while the poly plastisols are trying to block the dye sub, the DC mixture attacks or removes at least enough of the dye stuff to make it more printable,
Interesting.........ten ys or more ago everyone told me I was nuts to use discharge inks; what with all their inherent problems. These days they seem to be at least part of the solution.

Brad, I think that you meant that the new ones aren't as stinky as their ancestors, right?

I remember being in a shop twenty years ago when they tried the pretty new discharge inks, and the stench was almost overpowering.
Enough so that when Richard Labov of Union asked me to try their new stuff a few years back, I respectfully declined.
(I miss him. Very old school but a real gent. Some would label him a true mensch)

Boy Tony, you have just presented another example of why I am glad that I have chosen the route to keep this operation staying small and pretty much keep the power to say no, rather than need to bust my butt to make things work.

Damnit Tony, you can't just dangle that s h i t out in front of us like that and leave us hanging.
