Default Screen Printing before tye dying t-shirts

I just had a request to screen print on white t-shirts then the customer will be having students tye dye the shirts. Has anyone every done it in this order? Does the tye dye affect the screen print at all? Any help would be appreciated as I need to get back to my customer. Thanks, Connie

Yes you can print before tye dying. I would suggest printing a dark color as the dye may effect the ink/print. Also the tyedye pattern and colors used might render the print hard to read with a lighter ink color.

We just did this for a local event on 1k t's. no issues what so ever. We did print black and navy blue
