opaque white, supercover in permset, which is what you would need onto black, is thick like butter. its a pig to use, but it does give good cover. you can water it down a touch if required but be careful. i would always use a 43t screen.

Would it not be easier to look at something like TMTs white laser system? I used to own a screen print company and know what a huge learning curve you will now be on and TMTs system (or others when they come to market) looks to me like the future for garment decoration

AHa

Well, I only ever used the WOW stuff for one job and I seem to remember that it felt like a thin vinyl. I was actually quite impressed with the stuff. Screen print as you know depends on whether you are using plastisol, mixing it with soft base or using waterbased or something else.
