Discharge and WB glitters/shimmers
« on: July 16, 2014, 09:08:36 AM »
A little tricky at first but we got over the learning curve. The discharge WB glitter garments we are doing for retail are a whole new game. Colored shimmers and glitters are awesome and the hand is terrific. Also more shine due to less fillers and plastisol binders.

3 screens on navy. Glitter is not underbased. Ridicuously soft print. For a major fitness company.

It is a finished product RFU with a little voodoo magic chemistry added to make it better

Great looking print, and a very impressive technique.

This going to stay an in-house secret or are you gonna sell the formula to an ink company and retire?

Keeping it close for now. Others print W/B glitters so no big secret but again, learning curves. I can say that some of the techniques we're doing for this apparel company has been playing a big part in gaining their respect. Doing things for them that they cannot get made offshore. Pretty proud of the team.
