Super simple prints, nothing crazy. Just every time we run water base metallics I just love it. Three color water base on charcoal. Black water base down first, metallic silver next, quick flash, and gold metallic last. The prints are beyond soft and out sparkle any metallic plastisol I have ever seen or used. And clean up is a breeze!

Waterbased metallic are awesome. Way better than pls IMO and you can tint silver with PCs

Absolutely Tony. We only buy silver and tint away. I see many companies offer various colors of metallic when they only need to offer silver

Which metallic (rfu or are you tinting?) and what print specs brandon (mesh, etc).  Looks great!

It is the metallic silver base from Matsui. Been using it since I can remember many years ago. Tint away to whatever you want. 110's (we use tight rollers for our metallic's but statics can suffice) and the black water base on a loose 180. Easy set up and print. Record label was blown away

My first time printing a grey underbase.  Still feel I don't get the opacity out of the base, but overall very happy with the print.

Seps by Dan.  All Union Ultrasoft inks, Streetfighter white.  Base and White on 225-S, others on 305.

Looks really, really nice. 

I'm always amazed how so many colors 'appear' to be there in sim process with just 3 top colors.  Green and other colors appear to be in the print but are not.

As am I. Even when I was doing the seps I was a little hesitant about believing what I was seeing on screen, but I just trusted the seps, and it came out pretty slick!

Quick question if you don't mind: when separating did you set your background to a blue color (to represent the garment color)?  I'm trying to figure how else you were able to build those green colors? Thanks!

I did not see a color list so if Green was not used, I'm guessing halftones blends of Blue and Yellow to make up Green.

The shirt/BG color was an Ice Blue comfort colors shirt, so the yellows blended with the shirt to get the greens. Only printed white/yellow/red/Black.

One of our bands from Eastern Europe that we are lucky to print for. Super simple shirt, don't know why but I really, really like the design / print. The green / brown color is a pantone discharge color with two little plastisol screens (red and purple) with white water base for the highlite. Now we would be printing red and purple water base but this is a reprint. Just rolled off the belt. I know we will be printing more in the future. Really cool shirt
