  • @jasonlsmith3 I think you can use a variety of mesh counts. The discharge base and the discharge white are thinner inks. I did this video with a 110 just because that’s what I had handy for the video. Ryan from Ryonet did a video on this with higher mesh counts. I always use a bit of off contact. Your stroke will always determine ink penetration more so than off contact. And the brightest white will be achieved with the discharge white. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

  • What mesh counts can be used with this white discharge ink? And do you have any off-contact with the screen, or is the off-contact zero? I've read with waterbase inks to have NO off-contact to help drive the ink into the shirt vs. laying ink on top of the shirt like with plastisol.

    Oh, and I'm looking at the Ryonet white discharge ink, and their regular white waterbase ink. Which one do you think would give a brighter, more opaque white, and last the longest on a black shirt?

    Thanks

  • @johnk6749 First, maybe not but you could. Discharge white will be thinner than regular opaque whites. Secondly, yes, you can use plastisol with the discharge just make sure the discharge is flash cured first. Lastly, yes I most likely would as it is more difficult to work with than regular water based or plastisol. It’s not hard it just takes a little more effort. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

  • Would you use the same mesh count for white discharge ink that you would use with a regular white opaque ink? Can you use any plastisol ink with the discharge base, or does it have to be an ink made for that purpose? Would you charge a customer more for printing the shirt with discharge ink?
