? for you printers
Dottonedan:
I am doing a sep job and it's on red tees. It's sim process and I can use a gray base rather than white (as I have allot of gray in th eprint.
With this being on red tees, I would suggest using a low bleed ink. Does Gray ink already have some bleed resistant properties or should we use a bleed resistant additive in the gray ink?
Frog:
Are these red shirts 50/50? If not, you don't need low bleed ink (I still know of no additive)

I was in a same boat a few weeks ago. From what I am told, there is no such thing as low bleed additive. I ended using a low bleed white and added black to make it gray.

For us we mix all of our grays in house. So I know ours DO have it in them. But like frog said unless they're 50/50's I don't think there will be any issues.

You know, I don't know. I always fear the worse, but don't ALL deep red shirts migrate a little? Both 100% and less. I always assumed that even on 100% cotton that the RED migrated a tad (due to the dye) and not so much the cotton content. I understand that polly does not hold the dye as easily and heat releases it even more.
All red shirts migrate a little due to the dye. Tue or False?
