i've taken it as high as 95/5 just enough to see the base before it runs down the dryer...i've had issues when stacking plastisol on top of any discharge underbase with a high pigment load

On certain colors with certain colors being printed on top you can use just straight base. IE a dark
red on black garments. Less white less sticky.
