Ah. I run into that all the time- we have been just throwing in a Bella canvas or next level shirt as a sample- as a way to up sell for the next order...it works, once they wear the ring spin soft shirts 8 out of 10 customers order some on the next order...good luck on the jerzee dri-power, it's a great shirt. The local schools love it- lots of color options
Do you charge a higher service fee when printing on nicer garments such as B+C or Next Level? Naturally the shirts themselves cost most, but do you up your printing prices too? Just wondering. I'm still working out my fees! (Super new to all this.)
Definitely! It takes longer to mix the inks...plus the cups to mix the inks in...clean up team...discharge is messier...so we do charge more...we did not at first but the more we printed with discharge the more i learned that we should charge more...because of the time and cost...vs plastisol ink ready to print right out of the bucket...
Geno, is discharge safe to work with and cure in a garage setting? I can open the door and crack the garage door to allow ventilation but beyond that its a closed space with no exhaust options obviously. -- My main goal is achieve little to no hand on my garments vs even how a single or double pass of plastisol might feel through a high mesh, but Im limited in many ways as Im printing in my garage and still only have a IR flash to cure with... Would water based ink be a better option in my case vs discharge?
Depends on the brand of ink your using- and the weight- the amount/ratio we used was figured by weight with the brand of discharge ink we used. Check the specs of the brand your using from the manufacturers website.
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts it’s a brand based in UK called continental clothing. Brushed cotton, very high quality garments. I was just worried that because there is 20% POLY the design would be really faded when discharged on a dark colour like navy... what do you think?
Could you please advise , can I re-activate again discharge ink after 8 hours or this ink can be only 🚮??
That looks badass
Thanks! I will be doing some colored discharge on heather black soon (first time). Nice to see you got good results doing this.
Yep! Will you be using the new heather black from Bella+Canvas? Let me know how that goes! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Nah, I wish. The customer didn't want to spend the extra cash for them super nice Bellas. Just using some Jerzees Dri-Power. I hope they work ok!

Hi what percent do you use ink and what percent do you use discharge powder for white or any other colors?
Depends on the brand of ink your using- and the weight- the amount/ratio we used was figured by weight with the brand of discharge ink we used. Check the specs of the brand your using from the manufacturers website.
If we don't have a forced air conveyor, can we just run it a little longer through the dryer and get the discharge to activate?
D Robinson yes! You may have to run it through twice...
Is it possible to discharge on a dark navy (not heather) 80% cotton 20% poly? Appreciate your thoughts!
JTL yes I think that would work. I’ve never had a problem printing discharge on navy...what brand of shirt?

JTL I think you would be fine- there will be a bit of a faded vintage look- but with only 20% polyester you should be fine..it shouldn’t be too faded-
Would a flash dryer work with discharge ink?
is that a waterbase discharge ink?
Yes you are correct- water base discharge from Matsui Ink
Hi, which mesh do you use for discharge?
+matis65 110-156 is the best. I personally like the 110. Lays a bit more ink down
Is it possible to cure in sun dry or using heat press bcz I have no more money to buy conveyor dryer for waterbase ink...I m waiting for reply..
Yes you can use a heat press to do the final cure of water base ink.
