I would think that DC wouldn't work bc the part of the shirt left behind in the burned out spots is the just polly material.?? Don't know, just asking.Murphy37
People who like the burnout affect and order that, should be in the camp that they expect this discoloration from poly to cotton. It's what the burnout look is. With that said, sim process is done all the time like this and with the above in mind.230 discharge base. (Not sure on what brand).305 top colors.I have had great soft hand results with Rutland M3's on top. typically, I don't prefer the Rutland on its own for standard sim process. It's very thin. Thinner than Unions Trutone. I like Trutone better than straight up Rutland M3 because you can do a little more with it. For example, I like inks that are versatile. I added 5-15% soft hand to Unions mix Opaques and they worked like the Trutone but gave me opacity when and where I wanted it. I didn't need to have 5 types of inks. That's not to say that another brand like Wilflex and Union won't be as soft, I just don't know much about the other brands series as it pertains to the soft hand plastisol designed for high end sim process. My experience is also based off of art that is able to be done in 12 colors. When you use less, you need more opacity for vibrancy.
For my shop discharge has been hit and miss on burnouts....... HSA all the way here for burnouts.... A lot depends if the client wants the burnout area of the garment to have full coverage or partial where you can still see through it. We have jobs where the client wants to retain the burnout look of the garment while other clients want us to cover up the burnout portion 100% so it looks solid
