CCI d white
« on: February 13, 2012, 02:22:16 PM »
HI, after reading and seeing pics of this white I got a sample and I was very impressed . I'm new to the waterbased and thought I would start with baby steps. Figuring white would be good.
  With the sample I got good results, So today I had a small order 10 red/10 royal blue gildan heavy cotton large white team logo on front.  I printed the red first figuring I would stop if we had any problems, well they turned out great really white and crisp , so we figured the royal will be no problem but they didn't turn out as well they aren't as bright a white and there seems to be pink hue in the design. I'm not sure if the pinkish sahde is from undercuring or is it a scorch??
 For the guys doing mostly  water base how do you deal with fluctuations in shirt quality? without going mad.
Any help would be appreciated.

Orion beat me to it, some colors just dont discharge as well. Gildan as far as I know is the only one with this type of chart and I am sure glad they have it!

my guess is the pink huh you are seeing is your emulsion -are you using a red/pink emulsion?

Good point Homer, are you using water resistant emulsion? I recently switched to CCI WR25 and it is awesome!

what kind of light source are you using, and how many light units?  I tested it last week with mixed results.

I wish I could speak on light units lol. I run a 240 watt UV blacklight vacuum unit. I expose a 156 mesh for 6 minutes and then post expose in the sun if possible. I will say though my biggest run so far has been only 150 pieces on the manual. When I get my auto running it may show some of the mixed results you are seeing but hopefully not.
