Can I Discharge this?
« on: October 04, 2017, 01:14:49 PM »
Hey guys I'm a bit unsure about this color combo. We have been running into issues with certain colors lately and I wanted more eyes on this. I am printing on the Bella Canvas tri-blend navy blue with the attached colors. IS this possible. Vintage prints are totally fine on these, just not to faded:)

Great idea thanks for the suggestion! We've just had a few issues with printing similar colors with DC lately.

Shirts have to be dyed with Reactive dyes inorder to discharge.
Impossible to tell by looking.       As suggested, test.
You can also ask the supplier,
It’s also possible that not all the colors discharge, we have that with shirts we get from India.

Thanks Maxie I'll have to experiment with these. I was able to see that these tees with that color have a high discharge rating so I'm feeling a bit more confident on their ability to discharge.

According to my chart and past exp the navy heathers work excellent but still, test the triblend. Make notes

Thanks Tony I'll make sure to post my experience. We did switch the shirt color now, but it will be the clay Bella tri-blend option.
