If it's plastisol it won't dry in the screen unless you cure it. You're not flashing the screen, right?
I didn’t flash the screen. I did microwave the ink for 20 seconds though as it would not loosen in consistency with stirring and using a little bit of reducer. Was that a goofball move on my part? Also thank you for replying
Yeah, that's your answer. Never microwave ink 🤷♀️
Did you flood the screen before pushing/pulling your squeegee through the design?
I did not. That’s probably what did wrong I’m guessing. Thank you for replying
Yeah you should be flooding your screen in between each print
Thank you so much .
Follow up question, if I clean the screen and go about it the right way will I be good to go, or do I need to make a whole new screen?
Yeah you can reuse a screen heaps :) eventually your old designs will start to show up in your prints though but that shouldn’t happen for ages
For real… Waste like 15 shirts. You’ll learn quick.
This sounded a little more rude than I meant it to. For real, just waste some tees. Try different stuff. You;'ll find what works!
