Dialing In the Perfect Fleece Print with the Milwaukee Brewers

So, we're here at the Brewers, the ROQ and the Stadium. This is one of their 1A teams, the Warbirds. So, when we're going on fleece, we're going to try to we'll only use as much ink as we need to. Right now, we have a lot of ink cuz we're putting this on a white underbase. Very common, especially when you're first starting out on a screen printing press. This is where we ended.

So, after about seven different ways of doing this, we pre flash we pre-stamped it. We printed two strokes of the navy, two strokes of the gray, then we flashed it, and then two strokes of that tan. It's super crisp. It's nice and opaque, and it's very soft. So, we're going to try a few different things here.

So that is no pre-stamp. So now we're going to turn the stamp on. Oh, it's looking much better. All right. So now we're going to try just the other direction. So, we'll try to we'll stamp it and then we'll we'll run it the other way. The reason why we're running it backwards is we want to see smallest part of the design wet on wet to the largest part of the design. So, pre-stamp it.

All right. I think we have a winner. It's all about like understanding that print order and like a job like this, you either go typically lightest to darkest or it's typically smallest to largest. And with this print, it's lightest to to it's lightest weight to heaviest. If you look at the dark to light, typically that's not the way you want to run it. Want to run light to dark. And then this is such a large part of the design. And this is the second largest.

So that's the second color. And the smallest we're running last. But here's the thing is that it's it's all about the incapacity on this print. Cuz you can tell here tan to navy. If you're running wet on wet, that tan just picks up way too much because it's a it's an opaque color. So, the navy doesn't look any different. So, what we did is we reduced by reducing that navy, we allowed that to sit in the garment. It's probably about Yeah, that was navy first and then but it's pre-stamped. What did we learn? What did you learn? You don't always need a base pre-stamp. Nice.

And then play with print orders like this. like if you have time to or go after like if you have a problem with the job go back after you did the job and then cuz you already have it all set up you know if we had flashes in there it would have worked better but we try to do this without you know adding the flash. So what we're going to do now Zach said is like instead of doing we're just going to do the tan as the underbase.

I still think like comparatively we probably don't need a print flash print on this. Okay. So, what we're going to do is we are going to freestamp this. So, we're going to send this over the stamp real quick. We're free and then flash it. Boom. There's your cream. Look at that cream. Yeah, it's definitely the best cream. You're also figuring out how much you can simplify it.

Oh, that's the that's the goes fast and it's so much crisper. Look how much one rotation. The only the only other thing I might do is move everything up forward so you can have a little cool down. We could probably lower we can lower the off contact. Yeah, but that's not your slow down. No reducer. No reducer.

Yeah, you got to extend that French stroke. Oh, it's going to look so good. Let's see. This is where we started today. Where we started today. Good job, bro. That's a tough one. That's a lot of ink. Look at that. It's a lot of
