Inkdrop2008

I have a job to print 75 shirts. The design calls for 3 different colored flowers and black text. I plan on silk screening the black text and my friend dye sub the 3 colored flowers. My question is: should we print the black text first or dye sub the flowers first. I use plastisol inks so my concern is the heat press of the dye sub affecting the inks.
Thanks in advance. This forum rocks.

Generally the dyesub heat press will be up around 400 degrees for nearly a minutes, depending on the brand. If they use a teflon sheet, which they should. That will leave the texture of the sheet in the ink.

So I would guess do the dye sub then the ink. But you may have a bit of blowout/fading in the dye sub when you cure the ink.
