Title: Anyone try the miami ink euro plus white?
Post by: IntegrityShirts on March 15, 2018, 01:05:33 PM
It's a non-phthalate for 100% and 50/50. I like their superior white, but am also open to opinions or comparisons?

I have not tried that one but I use their inks all the time. I am always happy. Kevin is a great guy. He will work with you in any way needed.

I would ask about potential ghosting on 100% cotton. Even if they say it won't ghost on 100% cotton I would do my own testing before running a few thousand pieces of grey cotton tees :) Been there, done that.

Ghosting on garment-dyed cotton? Is this a problem you've had with non-phthalate inks or with their inks? Something like this article? https://printwearmag.com/features/ghost-images-screen-printing-cause-and-prevention (https://printwearmag.com/features/ghost-images-screen-printing-cause-and-prevention)

I didn't know that could happen until I read that article! Yikes.

About 10 years ago we ate 2k shirts by using a 50/50 ink (that were were told was suitable for cotton or 50/50). Not so... they all ghosted. Last year a large company near us ate a $250k job because of ghosting. A quality 50/50 on grey cotton tees. All I am saying is test, test, test regardless of what the manufacture tells you, or doesn't tell you. :)
