Should a guy use a reducer or maybe a little water to get that to saturate better? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I'm wondering if this is something client supplied, in terms of artwork? or if this something your design team came up with for a client?

I'd love to do something like this, but i don't think we'd ever have a client supply art for a project like this.

Hey, I can print like that on plastisol all day... this is what a "good" underbase looked like when I first started.  Woops! :)

So instead of turning the shirt inside out then back, how about doing a distressed discharge base then a solid water base top color without discharge.  Thoughts?

Cool effect, but why inside out the shirts? Couldn't you just make the text look like that with a distress filter and print it normally and get the same effect?

I think it's pretty darn cool.  As the shirt wears over time the print probably gets brighter!?

My old shop we dis this a lot. Pain in the butt. Every shirt is a lil different and original. You def want to not max out any frames. If anything run a bigger size frame to ensure your in the "sweet spot " of your screens. If not you'll notice a big difference on the underside even if the print looks good.
Also document everything to repeat it later. Got myself into binds before when I didn't write settings down.
