What is your process for stopping dye migration?
One stroke makes a line of plastisol inks called .357. The .357 white ink we use in our shop is extremely resistant to migration on cotton/poly-cotton/poly substrates. It's even opaque enough to be printed on most substrates that are dye sublimated, without using a grey under-base (ie. camo/digital camo). Our shop used to have to under-base with grey on many jobs, but using just 1 ink alone is so much more simple and time/resource efficient.
Now I don’t even wanna order those shirts 😂😬🤦🏽♂️
One Stroke ELT Series...expensive but bulletproof....I use One Stroke mainly for about everything but if it is Dye Migration there is nothing better on the market other their ELT
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen believe it or not I’ve never had that issue but I use a low cure low bleed ink aswell as I flash at a low temp and speed up the dryer so the shirts can’t dwell in the dryer for a long period of time.
@@bagwear8689 We're the same way, but with camo shirts, it'll come up. First round we used a LC ink, and still had issues. This is the first we've had to buy a specialty ink to prevent it.
nice video matt thks
Thank you!!!
Great video & tip Mikey
Thank you!! Thanks for watching.
great stuff man.
Thanks, Daniel!!
Nice, very nice loving the design as well great work Matt thanks for sharing Stay Safe and Blessed
Thank you Denise! You as well. We're they kind of people that tend to stay home or go to work only, so we got this!
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 Awesome :)

Can someone help me . I need to find a ink for non woven bags, I use for now nylon ink with catalyst to low cure but looks like still the cure temperature is to high 270° for non woven plus start have a demigration dye migration
Literally just printed those exact shirts 2 weeks ago with LC white...bled like crazy. Had to reorder and ub with the Grey. Did the trick.
Nice! Those camo shirts can bleed like crazy. The Armor ink definitely did the trick!
I need to try that grey blocker
Works like a champ! Kinda almost like fine sand. lol
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 whats the price compared to say white ink ? and single hit white on top worked well too ?
@@helmet1892 Single hit of white on top worked well. The gallon was $150.
Barrier grey base. Top whites can be low bleed whites
Thanks for sharing. That's just what we did here. :)
With camo you have to have an under base, I use Guardian Grey by International Coatings for my under base and then a good low bleed white ink for the final top color.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Matt! Really love your videos. Keep up the awesome work. From what I have read and watched you like the new Titan, just curious if you had looked into any other Autos like the M&R or Sabre? What made you go with the Titan? Really appreciate your time. Stay safe! Rob
I use that stuff on camos alot. I've also found you can cut with white up to 30%. Still blocks and much easier to use. Might even get away with 2 strokes instead of 3 :)

Thanks for sharing!
Hey Matt, I've noticed that your flood bar does not go all the way past your design. Does that cause you any issues? Is it just the way you like to do it or a limitation on the press?
I'm still messing with the settings on the press. This video was from the first week using the machine. I can get the flood bar right up against the squeegee, but the way it is hasn't really caused any issue. I haven't found any limitation thus far.
We add a low cure additive but have had trouble with those shirts
Nice! We've had luck with just low cure white ink, but these camouflage shirts kicked our butts.
Great video! So we can ise a darker color for under base?
In this case, it's what we needed to get the ink from bleeding. Aside from that I would use a white for an under base.
Double stroke for the white only or flash and over print? Great vid.
Thank you! I would definitely double stroke the white, but be sure to use some sort of low cure ink with a bleed blocker, or a specialty base ink to help prevent dye migration.
Hey Mikey what emulsion are you using
what I found the works for me is sports/Athletic ink from Excalibur it's low cure I get no ink migration and I hit flash hit with no underlay
Nice! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to look into that one as well.
What white are you using? Great vid as always!
We were using a Wilflex Poly Low Cure white ink. Thanks for watching!
Did you use any overlap on your top white or use butt registration? Also, you didn’t opt for the winged flood bars? Or did you get both? Any triple duro squeegees?
I choked the base just a touch so the gray would peak out. The stock squeegee duro that came with the press has been working great, but I do have some triple durometer blade around the shop. I have a few things up my sleeve I will try, but the press didn't come with winged flood bars. I may wait until this whole Corona Virus thing plays out before I go dropping money on upgrades.
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen yeah I hear ya on buying stuff. Our business pretty much came to a halt after trump’s first address. I managed to sell some hand sanitizers since we do promo products, but nobody around here is even thinking about custom apparel.
@@Pat_S We're still catching up from the press swop. Phones has been quieter, and emails as well. The calendar isn't filling up as fast, but we'll manage cause our overhead is pretty low.
Time to update the machine on the intro, lets get new intro, new machine new intro
Hahahahaha! I thought the same thing. I need to spend some time on that. :)
What happened to my comment, Matt? Flagged for spam or you deleted it?
I wondered the same thing... I don't delete comments unless it's spam. Looks like you mentioned a black base by One Stroke? I think they make great inks and have yet to try their black base.
I just checked it wasn't held for review or marked as spam... glitch with TH-cam? I that happen from time to time where the comment disappears. Not sure why.
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen yeah man all I said was that we use digital black underbase for camo and digital camo poly. That it’s really the only thing we’ve found that’s been 100% reliable on those. Union barrier grey is good stuff too. For blends and regular poly we use either a low cure poly ink or cool white which is flex cure.
@@woogdesigns Nice... I'll have to look into it. One Stroke swings me ink samples every once in a while. I'll have them hook it up with some samples to give it a shot.
What mesh count ya using for the die blocker inks? Like 180lx ?
