How would you print this design? It is a black and red design (that does touch) on a white shirt. I am thinking print red, flash, and print black. I was wondering though if you were in my shoes would you subract the flash and just print red, print black, and cure. Thanks

Print, Flash, Print, Cure
Or
Print, Print, Cure

Print-print-cure. If you use 230 screens, you shouldn't smear the red.

I would print red flash black. Especially if you're not sure if you could pull off the print, print cure. It may depend on how much the colors touch too. If it overlaps too much, it's possible that the black and red will mix together enough to have a small color change that's noticeable.
I only print wet on wet if I don't have any colors touching or if it's butt to butt registration.
It's really not gonna kill ya in time to flash.

Depends on how well your press holds registration. If it holds good reg then print out your seps butt to butt and print print cure. If not then you need to compensate for it and overlap the colors a bit and print flash print.

I added .5 overlap and still print, print, cured. Turned out PERFECT. 125 down with out 1 problem.
