yes you do.

Make sure you choke the underbase so none of thw white UB shows.

If your inks are high opacity you might be able to get away with the print flash print method yet more than likely youll need to use an underbase

I never bother using a white-under with red. Generally speaking red is opaque enough not to require it.

That will depend on the type and viscosity of the ink.

Fluid is right. Try it out: if it works, do it. If it doesn't work, don't do it.

There are some inks that will work just fine. Testing is always your best bet. Dye migration is always a killer so when you test make sure to check the garment after it has cooled off totally. This is when youll tell if any sublimation has occured.

Happy Printing
