This is a one-off print I did just for myself. Cos I figured, why have a print shop if you can't take the time to make cool sh** for yourself?

Discharge white print on navy blue. 32lpi halftone through 56T mesh.

About 2mm off contact. Basically the thickness of a 2 pence coin. Probably should have used more though as I did get a bit of surface stick. Used about 3 strokes as I only mixed up a small amount of ink to use.

I think I still prefer plastisol to be honest. Discharge waterbase gives a flawless white when the coverage is good, but plastisol always looks so much crisper to me.
