Discharge on 50/50 heathers

[Itsa Little CrOoked]

Discharged Cardinal Heather Gildan?  Yeah, it works!  Yeah its 50/50!

Get OUT!!.... 50/50?!!?

I'm missing the boat on some of these colors/blends. I have run some hoodies that did pretty well, and was surprised.

Good to know....

Posted this in another thread. 50/50 Kelly Green Heather from Optima. Sericol discharged right to the color.

Grief. We avoid DC on Kelly Green like the plague, much less 50/50. I'm going to forward this thread to the office help. We need to rethink and retool, I guess.

Tonypep, you seem to be the leading discharge guy here question I had trouble the other day getting a white to discharge on a black tee, was using plasticharge from union ink, I think I might have mixed to much agent is that possible?

I say we all get together with some torches and pitch forks and force tonypep to give lessons at his place ... Or else!

Not a fan of Plasticharge hybrids at all especially with opaque inks like white. They will not work with many colors in the Maxopaque series for instance.
To quote Shawshank.....
If you've come this far maybe you're willing to come a little further......try discharge white.

Tony, on stuff like this do you use a final crush screen for better blending?
 I've noticed on some of our stuff that if the final color is supposed to blend
it doesn't as well as the colors that had been stepped on. Still awesome, but
you can sometimes see dots.

Crush screen helps but I'm not trying to win awards and customers don't notice. At four feet away dots aren't visible and that's more than good enough. BTW it's probably not apparent in the pic but the colors shifted on the heather blend. Since it doesn't discharge quite as well the colors were deeper in hue. Especially apparent in the pink and orange. More on that later.
