Title: DC UB on Royal Shirts
Post by: sqslabs on June 16, 2015, 10:35:53 AM
Anybody have any success with DC UB on royal blue shirts?  I usually try to stay away from DC on royal but have a job that the customer is asking for a DC UB and I wonder if it will discharge enough to get a solid top print down.  Will be using NLA 3600's.

Thank youuuu.

it may not be as "WHITE" as on some other tees, but usually it's not an issue

Depends on what colors you are printing on top. You basically end up with a powder blue shirt/base, so
any colors/inks that will cover that well will be fine.

Sometimes you end up with tan/coffee with cream color instead.  Can mess with yellows and flo's etc.  Just test.

You can use a soft blending (mixing) white as the underbase on shirts that will not discharge well.  See the attached for an example of the Magna Neutral Base compared to the Magna Blending White on a poor dischargeable shirt.  I would avoid highly opaques discharge whites.

I've even seen a weird burnt orange.
