color separations for a reactive dye print
« on: October 01, 2015, 02:52:11 PM »
Need to create a color separation for a piece that will be printed with reactive dye. Would any of you know if there are any different 'rules' to follow when art will be printed this way?

I would image layering colors, using a highlight white for example, might not work well. Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

It is almost impossible to print reactive dyes without altering their viscosity.

I believe they use alginate to add the viscosity needed. I am mostly wondering if I can use the same sim process separation for something that will be printed this way.

Thanks!
