The non solid parts of the underbase, were they halftones? If so, what was the opacity of it? Super Awesome tip! Thank you!
Yes, they were all halftones. Opacity/tonal percentage depended on the distressed layer that was above it.
I like that he never cusses just giving out detailed knowledge of the trade. Most screen printers make you want to rip your ears out.
Glad to hear you like it. It does make learning and more enjoyable for everyone.
? if you don't have ink that is not for wet-on-wet printing, can you add anything to the ink so you can do wet on wet printing?
What ink are you using?
@@Ryonet the shop I work for use Rutland 9020 Silky Cotton White and all there mix ink system and normal colors inks is from rutland. I could be wrong but this ink doesn't do well wet-on-wet. nothing like the welflex ink where i use before in a other shop wet-on-wet with welflex is so much friendly
@@edgarrivera532 Majority of Rutland inks are capable of wet on wet but without knowing the mixing ink system and spot color system, it's hard to answer this specific question. We can go deeper in this by giving us a call and we'll get you the answer you're looking for.
