No REALLY tell us how you do that?

We do this job quite often (south louisiana) and wouldn't mind a pointer or two.

I hate that blank....

No matter what we printed on it... the camo would bleed right through it.  Even with black ink we would get an irridescent shimmer coming through within 2-24 hours.

We ended up printing barrier grey (Rutland) and ink colors on top.  That was the ONLY way to stop any migration.
Been in the industry since 1996.  5+ years with QCM Inks.  Been a part of shops of all sizes and abilities both as a printer and as an Artist/separator.  I am now the Ink and Chemical Product Manager at Ryonet.

i did it once before a year ago:

Barrier Grey
Flash
white (can't recall if it was just a regular plastisol or a white barrier)
flash
4 hits of flo orange (flashing in between each one)...That flo orange is really thin...it took 4 hits to make it look right (to me anyway)

The orange pops more than what you see in the pic.

I make our own "Barrier Gray" and high gloss flo orange. No white. Its a high gloss finish. What you're seeing is the reflection from the camera flash.

Is it a thick orange or runny/thin?  One hit of the orange or multiple?

I meant hi density in the general sense, not specific print style sense. Overcome the bleeding with thickness of deposit.

We used to print extra thick with 4XX mesh, high density without the sharp edges. Bulletproof too!
