Here is what they are WANTING.

We are about to throw some tye dye images under to see how it looks.

We aren't feeling like it's gonna pop the way it is now.

make sure the TD colors are in the red shade and you should be OK.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

by using two contrasting colors for the art you are making sure there is enough contrast to see it regardless of the background (white ink on the part that's very light in color would be hard to read. By adding a dark stroke around it the problem is eliminated). We always outline the art going on the TD garments and usually print after dyeing.

My tie-dyeing Boy Scouts are smart enough to have figured that out on their own.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

We've recommended and done this for 20 years on spirals with very dark and very light areas; it pops bigtime...

I would add a white outline around this whole design so that it will stand out against all the different colors of the tie dye.
