NEW GUY HERE!
«

Hey everybody, new guy here my name is Jarrod. I'm from Ohio been screen printing for about 10 years. Never had an account at any forum before. Figured now is good as time as any to get started. Basically all I have printed is plastisol on about anything you can print on. But want to get into some discharge printing for that softer hand. Hoping to use plastisol as the pigment so I can keep cost down. Would like to hear any input as to your experiences using discharge. Thanks!

Hey Jarrod,
welcome aboard! You'll find plenty of info here on Discharge printing and even an expert or two!
If you are ever up in Cleveland, stop by the shop and say "Hi!"

Well Howdy. I think that a few of our members will say that you picked a great forum to join to first enter the interwebby world of screen printing help and advice and general bull slinging
We have a great showing here of "dischargers", and you have come to the right place for information.
Your reference of hoping to use plastisol as a pigment with discharge to keep costs down is sure to get some action from them!
Once again, welcome!

Congrats for finding us. Love new members! We usually have some good discussions going on for discharge. It's a hot topic these days.

Hey Jarrod! Glad to see you signed up. There is a ton of great info on here. For those of you that were following and lending advice over my possible partnership deal over the past couple of weeks in the business section, Jarrod is the printer which I spoke so highly of. I should send you guys a consulting fee for introducing you to discharge printing over the past couple of weeks.

welcome man......
I too am thinking about discharge however we all will be interested in some of the less common stuff you have printed on.
When you get some time possible you can share some experience.
again welcome .....

You've printed plastisol on non textile substrates?

Have not printed on non textile with plastisol. Maybe that was worded wrong. I'd say the toughest thing I printed on would be bath towels. Had a customer who was going on a large fishing excursion and wanted a 3 color on large thick bath towels. I tried to talk him out of it but that is what he wanted so I did it.
