Title: hsa - flattening screen
Post by: ol man on December 05, 2016, 06:53:36 PM
We are running a 2000 piece Hsa job in a couple of days - 1 grey 2 whites on a 60 /40 blend ... is a flattening screen a good idea...Love it with plastisol

Probably not necessary with HSA, that stuff has the best matt down of any ink. I don't even know
if it would work, it doesn't seem to have that compressible quality that plastisol does.

Are you putting both whites under the grey?

You can use it.

You see moderate results.  But it does improve matte down.

Used it on Matsui 301 Stretch White.

I have a client wanting to try this.  They have a Workhorse 3011 Quartz dryer.  Thoughts?
