Hey guys need some advice here, we are printing some Next Level shirts and the ones we have I don't think discharge is going to give me what I'm looking for, they are triblend 50 poly,25 cotton 25 rayon which I don't think will give me a nice white if I use discharge. So what inks do I need to buy or use to still give these shirts a nice hand? or what can I do to my plastisol ink to achieve this, thanks fellers

HSA all the way.
Comet White or CCI's are both good. Print it about like plastisol, probably have to double stroke the base though.
Flashes super fast (easier to not scorch problem colors) and the matte down/hand is incredible, especially for fuzzy stuff like tri-blends.
If you are worried about bleeding (we haven't seen much on tri-blends) Green Galaxy has a low cure catalyst.

135 thin thread mesh - synergy poly white ink - sharp triple duro blade, high speed, approaching 90degrees blade angle, low pressure.
thin, smooth white with plastisol.
we're still working on this but these variables are looking better than anything else so far for triblends.
NOT a discharge hand (but rumor has it that better shops than we are coming darn close)

How about a nice vintage white on the tri blend fabric?
We don't offer vibrant, 100% opacity inks on any mid to dark color tri blend tees. Only vintage printing.
A vintage white looks great on the darker heathered tri blend farbrics, and is has a super soft hand.
One Stroke Comfort FF White (designed for tri blends)
Our customers cant get enough of this style of printing, and it makes printing
on these fabrics so much easier. Ask your customer. You might be surprised on
on how receptive people are to soft vintage prints on tri blends.
