Frenzy in the ball pool

This T shirt design from Chris Lanyon speaks for itself. A four colour screen print using opaque waterbased inks from Grafco. The colour came up good and bright, but we think we could have put more ink down with a coarser screen mesh.
Colours do look very good. Had you used those particular water based inks before? Is it less of a pain to print on black? Or do you still put down an undercoat?

It still requires white underbase, you have to work a little faster, especially when printing by hand, but the results are good. I am pretty sure the water based colours come up brighter than plastic inks.
