What have you printed lately?

meh, with a print like that I can see why the lion is yawning

Just kidding.  i think it looks awesome.  I'd be happy with that print...on the next run you can always adjust the curves a bit to compensate.

I wish I could get our cci d white to look that white LOL....... Always seems to look bone color. Are you using it straight out of the bucket or modifying it?

Suggesting Rutland white plus. Side by side its noticeably better for us. Has a slight blue shade. You'll see just by looking at the wet ink.

We've had the same results with Rutland white plus and have made the switch to it for most discharge white jobs.

we found the opposite to be true. but after talking with the rutland reps, they told us if the dryer is to hot it will brown the ink. So we are going to retest next week.

What temp is too hot?

Here's a print we did this week, pretty proud of this one though considering it's 100% waterbase ink. I have been playing around with the green galaxy beta pigment system so this was one of my first goes with the system. All in all super happy with how it came out. 8 screens total on this one, 60 lpi.... Print feels really nice in person... Comet white for the underbase

Danny that's really vibrant print.  Very nice.

This is a two color print we've been working on for a couple of days. Trying to really learn more about halftones, discharge, and emulsion. This print was such a pain for a two color print. but it came out looking exactly like the art...so that's pretty neat.

Danny that looks fantastic for HSA. 8 screens is impressive for that art and ink.  2x hsa underbase or DC ub? How many flashes and where?  From our experience with HSA I think we would need a 14 head press and 3 flashes at a bare minimum to print something like that all hsa.

This epic thread could intimidate even a great printshop, which we CLEARLY are not.

But we make good money on these during the season, and NOW is the season! We've got a Shocker Fanwear Room in the front of the store where we do limited edition runs. Lots of foily, blingy, wimmen's kinda stuff. Heck! I'm the only man in my shop, period.

So here goes. One of my amateurish, spot color wonders.

We have trouble with our Wichita State Gold Discharge looking greenish, so I mix 20 parts CCI D-Flo Yellow to 5 parts D-Flo Tangerine and 3%ZFS, 3% Mastui Penetrant, spritz a little water if the run is long.  The rest is easy, all CCI DC WB. Wilflex HD Clear PFP for the foil adhesive. Gold Crown Foil, 60#, 10 seconds, 350, peel cold. Manual Front, Auto Back (not shown). 

Sorry for all the abbreviations, I'm in a hurry this morning.

I've not printed a single thing in 7 years that matches up to the best stuff on here, but I buy my own groceries.

So. (Wow, this thumbnail looks blurry, but if you click on it you can see better. Weird)

A 3 color DC with foil isn't for the faint of hart. Maybe your better than you give yourself credit for.
