I would like to dye a garment that has a white screenprint.  When I dye the garment, will the screenprint stay white?

I would like to dye a garment that has a white screenprint.  When I dye the garment, will the screenprint stay white?  If not, is there any way to achieve this?

If you use a cool water fiber reactive dye, the screenprint will not take the color and will remain white.  Examples of fiber reactive dye include Procion MX dye and Dylon Permanent dye. 

Don't use a hot water dye, such as all-purpose dye, which has a greater chance of staining some plastic materials.
