Been doing some silk screening

Working on printing t-shirts with the old rabbit skeleton design by Nicholas Bross. I am using discharge paste instead of ink. Jacquard renamed their discharge paste "decolorant". And I get why. The term discharge brings up some unwelcome imagery. What it does is remove color from fabric, but it has no bleach content. So it does not damage fabric. Therefore, put through a silk screen stencil, it reverse - prints. We are all familiar with the stiffness of an ink print on a t-shirt. Not only does this stuff remove the shirt's color where you print your design, you can tint the decolorant with some silk screen ink to lay down a color while simultaneously removing the dye and the result is a much softer printed design. I haven't done the tinting thing yet but I have pulled a few prints on Ts.
