Hi everyone. My situation is a little frustrating. My boss wants to print the same design on pretty much every color of the rainbow. I basically made an underlay at 100% that all the colors of the design will be printed on. I know from past experiences this tends to lighten up my color choices by a shade or two. One of the colors of the design is a dark navy, which I have heard blues tend to be more transparent, so should i not include an underlay for the navy? Im worried an underlay will turn my navy into a royal blue, and im worried if i dont use one, it will change the color of the navy. Especially because we will be printing on a wide range of colors, including tie dye. Does anyone know how in the world i should approach this? I really dont want to screw this up but it seems like an impossible situation.

What brand ink are you using? There are opaque waterbased inks available.

Either underbase it all or use opaque inks. I use Permaset Aqua SuperCover, which is a full line of opaque ink colors. It works great, but your boss won't like it due to $$$ ... though it does allow you to skip the underbase screen.
