I thought we had a long thread about how it was fine to coat screens in shop light?  I remember saying we did it all the time.  We also carry screens that are ready to be exposed in shop light all the time.  Not for an hour but a few minutes at least.  I don't remember but a small minority claiming we shouldn't do that but even they weren't really positive you couldn't do it.

Tony -- so you are obviously printing on 50/50's.  What about 100% polyester ("sports performance") shirts?  Have you slayed that dragon too?

No. For performance Acrylic is best. Am beta-testing Sericols version next month. My earlier post with the vintage girl with rose shows a 50/50 next to a 100% cotton

Lucky you. They have been testing that out here for a little while now and I have tried to get my hands on it but my rep cant sneak any my way. He said wait until I see the price. Some people that do not want to buy Wilflex because of the cost will have a stroke when they hear the price of this stuff.

Posting from a phone so I can't rotate the pics or anything. This is discharge base only with .5% activator (try eyeballing that!) we were testing a bunch of different garments just for giggles. Some came out awesome some not so much. The purple/pink etc. are heathered with varying poly content. Really like those. Thermal is %100 cotton from Royal. Can't do that with plastisol!

Here's my thing we did a red discharge imprint on 8 black Jersies HD shirts this am on the manual. No underbase, no flash, no reg. hit once and into the dryer. The time saved messing around making two screens, films, reg, underbase, flash and print was worth the 5 min to mix the color and clean up.

I know it's not white but it makes it so easy to print. Just saying.

Ha! Just realized I have 2011 on there. No idea where that came from, we've been around a lot longer than that. Luckily it's not for someone else.
