Another wet t-shirt. The process sells itself. One color discharge with waterwash

Missing attachment on this one.

Oopsie poopsie. Here it is.

2 things:
1) how do you show a proof to a customer of what this is going to look like? . .ohh, wait, I bet you have to run off samples first.
2) what exactly is water washing?
-
The discharge ink is made sans the anti-wick agent. The wet print is misted with water. No two ever alike which is part of the appeal. Yes you would have to sample first. If you change the garment color the wash may appear different as well (again part of the appeal). On light colored shirts it will generally exhibit a dark colored halo while on darks it will be light. And that also depends on the ink color of course. Kind of complicated to sell but I am releasing this in our Spring Resort line so we will have tight control.

Love it. That's the kind of stuff I like to look into.
-
Awesome!

What would you say your added time per piece is? Catcher or separate employee
to do the spraying? After 5000 World Series labels I'm a little wary of anything
that isn't print catch fold box.
Upcharge or a good selling point?

No extra employees. Goes through a 20' drying chamber with the belt slowed down. Less than 30 seconds extra time. Shirt wholesales at $9.50 so theres plenty of margin in it. Geared for Resort at 48 pc minimums. For several hundred or more I would buy a pressurized sprayer.
