speedball...print ink over ink

[nwar]

hello
been printing since 21 years so i have printed succefully that way with plastisol,the hardcore solvent ink,manoukian wb,etc...
was ready quite some stuff about those speedball ink in the last couple day that i might be tempted...question is can i print white over black and will still get a kick ass white or not?
thanx

You might have to double hit it to get it really, super opaque. Or maybe use a lower mesh count for the white. I've never really had any complaints with the way one pass of straight Speedball white looks over colored stock or other colors, though.

thanx
does that applied to the acrylic ink?

[boatdreams]

Acrylic is the only Speedball screen printing ink I've used. Incidentally, stay away from the Speedball ink that says "Water Soluble."

Also, welcome! If you're going to stick around, consider going premium. It's well worth it, and it helps keep the site afloat.

You will not be happy with speedball white over black double hit. That's my guess since you have 21 years of plastisol opinions.
