What Are The Advantages Of Using A Discharge Underbase Over a Normal Plastisol Underbase?
The discharge underbase will produce a softer feeling and the print will not have the rubbery, bullet proof feel associated with a dark garment printed with a regular white plastisol underbase. The printer will also increase his production output because since the discharge underbase is absorbent and does not seal the shirt, it allows the printer to easily print each subsequent color on top of the discharge underbase wet on wet. To eliminate pick-up on screens overprinted onto the discharge underbase printers may elect to flash cure the underbase print for about 1 second. However, if printers decide to flash cure it negates part of the increased production advantages of this process.
