Run too small to add a blocking base, will regular Royal plastisol shift "greenish"?

royal turns navy in my experience....even hitting it 2x doesn't seem to help. we always base it

If you're still running that Union Maxo mix system, you can get a nice royal somewhere in between the blue G/S and the blue R/S.
Should print great through a not so high mesh (160?) in one hit.

This is where Onestroke inks pay off.  Any of their Smart series inks would work perfect for this.

If you have maxopaque you could put a bit of low cure additive in there just to make sure it doesn't bleed

Using ultra soft or an opaque ink?

whoa wait... You guys can nail a true royal on safety, no base? Those union Maxo inks, are they still really stiff ? we broke spatulas in that stuff years back. We use International Coatings inks, always had to base royal, no matter the series...

what's this One Stroke stuff, I don't see it on their website?

we use one stroke as well and need to underbase to make royal pop on safety green.    royal on safety green will be a light navy color,  just my .02

Probably Wilflex Epic, plus we have assorted royals for PMS numbers, which are Union's MaxOpaque, usually run through a 140...

I suppose I could try my Mixopaque rather than the Ultrasoft. Just don't automatically think of opaque inks when going dark on light. (and usually print cotton)

Not sure if you need a PMS match, but we always add some white and lighten our royal up when going on safety green.  One stroke and done.  It gives a nice royal when placed on the safety green background even though it looks a bit light before printing.  Using union ultrasoft royal.

I'm intrigued. That sounds like a trick I may visit. Gotta see if I have some old safety greens in my junk box to play with.
