Title: Water based on Garment Dye
Post by: Pangea on January 09, 2019, 09:18:32 AM
Anyone have experience printing water based on garment dyed shirts (specifically NL 7410)? I wasn't sure how they discharge or if they have issues with dye migration. The company I'm working with that is thinking of using them typically goes with black shirt/white ink if that helps.

we typically use a blocker base on any pigment dyed goods.

Any suggestion on a good blocker base?

I've been moving over to CCI exclusively the past few months but it looks like they don't have one yet. Matsui it is.

Just not GG. Tried 3 different gallons of GG blocker. Every one of them came in super chunky and nearly impossible to work with. Still got em all. Pay shipping and I’ll send you one for free. I’ve just been avoiding throwing them in the trash.

Thanks for the offer! I picked up a quart of it a few months ago and have had issues getting a nice white over top of it. Any luck with another manufacturer?
