Halftones on your Discharge
« on: February 13, 2013, 01:09:53 PM »
Any issues one would encounter with discharge printing halftones that one would not encounter with images not having halftones - break down any easier or operates the same, etc.?  In particular for larger runs of 3k pieces and up?

Runs better than plastisol IMO. The gain you have on the tenth is the gain you will have on the thousandth.

Yes, small detail area's are more prone to breakdown, there's more emulsion surface area to be attacked
by the ink. That said, a properly prepared stencil should have no problems over many many thousands of impressions.

Heres the Indian Motorcycle girl on sand. This is an actual shirt (note collar at top left). Unactivated WB back we made our own for about $3.00 a gallon. If you compare the navy swatch there is some difference but they were so stoked they didn't care. (Note the year, btw) Sadly when the pallets showed up at Indian the feds had padlocked the doors.
