Hello, so for a little bit of an introduction I am printing everything myself and I only have a one color printing station. I tried to print red onto a black shirt but I noticed no matter how much ink I printed it would simply just soak right into the shirt and the design would only faintly show. I am using water based inks to print my shirts. However, since I have a one color printing station it is nearly impossible to do a white under base. I really need some help and would appreciate any feedback as I am in a hurry to get orders done. Thank you

You've answered your own question, you have a one colour press and need to do a two colour setup of underbase and red.

If you print on cotton, then discharge additive is the easiest option.

You could try an opaque ink like Permaset Supercover. The red won't pop like it would with a white underbase but it will show.

So essentially the only way to do this is if I was to create a white under base before printing?

You were just given 2 alternatives to a white underbase. Did you read all posts?
