Discharge printing uses a water-based ink that breaks down the dye in the fabric within the printed area and, if it contains pigment, replaces it with a new colour. The result is a print with almost no hand feel, as if it were part of the fabric, and very soft.
It only works on 100% cotton dyed with dischargeable dyes (usually reactive) and does not work on polyester or high-polyester blends. The final colour varies with the base shade and the dye lot, so ask for a test on the actual fabric. Do not promise an exact Pantone match without a trial.
