I print with plastisol inks and am looking for a way to get a soft hand feel. From the information I have found it seems that discharge and water-based printing is the way to go. However, I am a bit confused on the big picture...
Can you print colors with discharge ink or do you have to do the undercoat with discharge and then print on top with water-based ink to get colors?
If both ways work for obtaining color, is one preferred over the other?
Is it mandatory to have a compressed air flash dryer (I'm not sure if that's the official name) or can you get by with a regular flash dryer? (the one that works with plastisol inks)
Thank you so much to all that respond! Any bit of information is greatly appreciated!!
