Printing on fleece?

that would be the reason to toss the highlight plastisol on there WOW.

If you run plastisol on top of plasticharge or discharge, you are basically going to boil the plastisol while curing the the plasticharge or discharge.

Not true. Either type of discharge with plastisol overprinting is meant to be run this way. A little hotter, longer, and hopefully with forced air at the least. Your plastisol is still not going to boil at WB discharge's 340 or so, even at the 2-3 minutes dwell. Heck, with Plastcharge, it goes down to 310, and 90 seconds.
No worries. It may look weak until the base fully discharges, but that's to be expected.

I did it the other day to test it out, and it worked great.  Even testing under a flash unit with no forced air.

You also can easily print plasticharge as a wet underbase under other colors.  White tends to pick up on other screens though.

We're printing plastisol over discharge as I type.

According to Colin (formerly of QCM) the longer plastisol
stays at cure temps the better.


(Except for some oddball poly stuff our dryer hasn't changed settings
in a long long time)

Plastisol only here.

I think everyone nailed everything.

But....do you have a heat press? If so they are a godsend for fixing/smoothing out a bumpy print on fleece.

[Denis Kolar]

Yes, I got the heat press Thanks for that too

Freaky, I ran these as a plasticharge underbase with an overlay of red, and the red bubbled and boiled all to hell.  I assumed it was the two minute dwell time, but must have been something else I did on my end.  Back to the drawing board   

[mk162]

the only thing I could figure it maybe you have too much ink down.  i only see that when I have en excessive overprint over an underbase of any kind

[ebscreen]

Second the vote of too much ink.

This happened to me as well, so I started printing my colors ontop of wet discharge and it worked great.
