Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Just curious of the print order. Care to divulge?
I've still got to try the CCI base, it's all I hear lately but my home brew white mix with the matsui is perfect now.
CCI is working on a pigment line and will probably be releasing it early next year. It will purportedly be sold in easily dispensible containers.
It'll probably be a six color set plus white and black... but I'm not exactly sure on that part yet, need to get my feet wet and do some studyin up on color theory as well.
That print looks like a prime candidate for the over printing method Tony's always talking about (and doing). Maybe could get that 9 color down to a six? I'm banking on using the living hell out of this method once initial r&d gets done. I think I'm actually going to build a set of stock discharge color mixes, test on all the shirts 'till I find a couple of sweetheart brands/colors and only (mostly?) offer or do that style of printing on those brands/colors with those stock inks in various overprint configurations. It'll probably be a six color set plus white and black... but I'm not exactly sure on that part yet, need to get my feet wet and do some studyin up on color theory as well.
I have taken to the heat gun method of testing colors, what a time saver that is. I gotta say thanks to Tony for all the tips, lots of invaluable information that has helped me a lot.
