Title: Is there any reason to use black discharge?
Post by: Prosperi-Tees on September 21, 2012, 02:58:51 PM

I have a design going on red and purple shirts with a black print, Customer wants a soft hand so I figured WB. Now is there any advantage to adding the discharge activator or should I just run it straight WB. I have some Matsui black pigment and CCI base, I was thinking 10% pigment to base. Is this to much?

Probably not but 8% is the norm. Do NOT activate. And check the black PC to be sure its not flaking around the edges of the container. Those flakes will drive you nuts!
