Hello
I am looking to get discharge printing done on my T shirt line. I have this shirt which bought and would like to duplicate the screen colors for a different image. They seem to be layered and faded on some areas of the print. That is what I would like to duplicate. Orange, blue, red. I have been to a couple of screen printers in my area and no one seems to know how this can be done. Is it the artwork or printing procedure? I have included a pic of the shirt, I hope it helps. Please let me know if anyone knows how its done.
Also is it possible to discharge print over the same print more than once? The image I am printing is a simple skull.

Sounds like an all over print then. That's a lot of ink to lay down on fabric though. Is it really thick or heavy? Might be a water based print if the ink is light to touch or discharge if the fabric is dark.

The vintage faded type look could be done with halftones or a fill of some kind - either way an artwork issue.
