Super soft waterbased white
As much as we are always talking about the benefits of waterbased and discharge printing, they do have
some limitations. One of those is that certain colored fabrics do not react with discharge inks and will
not print properly. Royal blue is one of those colors, and if we were to print this shirt with standard
discharge white, the end result would be a powder blue print. HIGH SOLID ACRYLICS TO THE RESCUE!
Pictured above is our new super opaque white waterbased ink. This is not a discharge product, and
will sit on top of the fabric as opposed to in it. It does have more hand than a discharge print, but
the feel is super smooth and soft compared to plastisol. It’s really neat stuff and we are one of only
a handful of shops offering it.
This print was a perfect candidate, Berkeley based Flux Coffee ordered several different colored shirts
for their order and one of them was Royal, so we discharged the rest and used our opaque waterbased
white for the royal. Result – perfection. (Good art always helps there too!)

Not a whole lot to say except look at that red! Ridiculously bright! That’s how we roll!
