Red discharge print, earth positive T shirts

Submitted by Steve on Friday, 26 June 2009One Comment

Obtaining a good red when discharge printing is difficult, bright reds are not easily achieved. We have had good results Screen printing earth positive T shirts with discharge inks, no difficult batches as yet, and we hope this continues to be the case. Often there is a variation in the results for discharge even within the same brand, but earth positive Tees are proving to be very consistent in there ability to produce good discharge colours.

We have been using a fair amount of NF super white of late too, the ready mixed white is a definite improvement on previous whites we have used. Promotional T shirt printing using organic T shirts, and water based inks is now getting easier in terms of shirt, and ink availability. Manufacturers are doing a great job of supplying improved products for this market. We are hopeful the efforts in product development within this area will be maintained through the current economic climate. These ‘green’ agendas, are bringing improvements in environmental and ethical standards within the T shirt and ink manufacturing industries, we also believe these efforts are bringing an improvement to overall product quality.

    These are great results. And really nice to see a fully-utilized t shirt dryer.

    Are there any particular t shirt sources where discharge doesn’t work very well?
