[@juliocruz7554]

what kind of ink would your recommend for hoodies? (50/50 blend)

[@Ryonet]

You can print waterbase or plastisol for a 50/50 blend! Mostly depends on your preference. What are you currently set up for and use most often?

[@juliocruz7554]

well im printing hoodies for the first time on a 150 i was just asking because ive ran into various hiccups and i was just crossing off all potential reasons @@Ryonet

Can u cure water based ink with a heat press?

[@Ryonet]

Hi! Short answer is yes. Long answer is, use warp drive to ensure cure is reached - if you make a mistake curing with a heat press - the warp drive will activate and complete the cure. There is a blog on screenprinting.com that covers how to cure with a heat press when using WB inks.

what happened to ryan?

[@Ryonet]

He's still here! He's involved in many screen printing based projects so keep your eyes peeled, you'll see him around!

[@Angelicashlo]

Plastisol gets real messy when you dont have professional equipment

[@Ryonet]

Very true! It's definitely helpful to have the proper cleanup chemicals to work with when printing plastisol. Are you a strictly waterbase ink shop?

[@Angelicashlo]

@@Ryonet oh im not a shop im still work on the floor 😭
