Re: Red Ink On Black Shirts 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

Re: Red Ink On Black Shirts I never bother using a white-under with red. Generally speaking red is opaque enough not to require it.

Re: Red Ink On Black Shirts That will depend on the type and viscosity of the ink.

Re: Red Ink On Black Shirts Fluid is right. Try it out: if it works, do it. If it doesn't work, don't do it.

Re: Red Ink On Black Shirts 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
