I have to print tan plastisol ink on a burgundy colored shirt. Is a white underbase needed? Or can I get away with print/flash/print? Thanks in advance.

Well, you can always get away with it. Will the print be more vibrant with a white underbase vs. a tan one? Yes.

If you are not going to use white, at least use an opaque tan.

In my opinion you need an under base. We a lot of times use clear if we don't have a underlay provided that way the trap is not that critical. John

I've never tried using a clear underbase. Is it harder to register? I'm leaning towards using an underbase but wanted see if there where any other options out there.

If you use an opaque tan which contains a lot of white, I wouldn't use an underbase. PFP works fine on burgundy with tan inks. Anything with a lot of white such as grey works fine also.

Thanks everyone. Also I had one more question, the logo has 4 different shades of tan in it. Will I be able to print this with one screen or will I have to make seperate screens?

You probably need a min of 2 screens depending upon the closeness of the shades.

As to your original question just double hit the tan. Not as hot as a white base but will do the trick
