Discharge UB Plastisol on top. Very soft. Base discharges to a weird mud color as usual but enough to pop the colors. We are approaching 90% discharge printing

Duoh! did it again.

Nice pop. Did you mix the blue and yellow for a green or print one? Teal blue makes a great green.

We used a teal and obviously used blends. One of our artists is getting real good at this; the more we do it the better she gets. BTW its a purple shirt.

Shop I'm at has been doing this for years now.
A plastisol underbase has not been printed here in over 5 years. I was amazed at some of the techniques and ways they print 'off' colors.
The first time you put a dischare base on a purpleish-blue tri blend and see it flash to a weired red-brown color, your brain goes no way is that 109 yellow plastisol printed through a 200 going to be bright enough.. then it comes out of the dryer and your brain goes.. how the F did that work??!!

if you need to discharge purple, use GILDAN aubergine, it discharges like a CHAMP! and its Barney purple.
