•Add a touch of blue to make your white ink brighter
We happen to get calls from customers sometimes asking about how to brighten white screen printing or pad printing ink. To do so you can actually just add a touch of blue color to it. More specifically, #32 from any of our ink series would be the best option.
•How to handle misprints
Removing misprints from plastics is also a issue for some people. The best way to handle it is to use our Ink-Away Remover to clean the substrate and then overprint the shadow before removing the object from the nesting fixture.

•Mixing and matching different colors
Also, when doing color matching, please be aware that many PMS colors have a large amount of #70 Transparent in them (i.e. Reflex Blue, Warm Red). Therefore, if you are not printing on a white substrate they will not get a true color. To fix this problem you can either pick a color very close, (i.e. Reflex blue / PMS 286) which is formulated with all opaque mixing colors, or you can under-print with white. In most cases when printing on a dark substrate you will need to under-print with white. Flatbed printing is a fashionable and advanced technology today.
