quick question, why discharge and which emulsion did you use?

To answer Pierre's question:
I wanted to use discharge in order to avoid the top ink colors acting like skaters on an ice rink.
Also, customer wanted a vintage/destroyed look, as well as a softer finish.

I used Chromaline emulsion.

Here's a better image of the final print. By the way, I washed the shirt. Forgive the wrinkly-ness.


And for those of you who are wondering what I started out with...here's the customer provided cell phone art.

squeegee:
That looks great, nice job on the art.

Are those plastisol inks on a discharge base or all discharge colors?

blue moon:
Ann, the stuff looks great! Do you have any more you could share?

1 drawback: The EXTREMELY long exposure time for the special discharge emulsion. 10 minutes. Ugh!

EGAD!

What exposure source are you using? I have a 1200w metal halide and I'm at much less than 2 minutes for any screen. I use Ulano 925WR and some newer CCI stuff, WR-25.


Nice print by the way. Is it straight plastisol on top of the discharge?
