TOOO MUCH PRESSURE REQUIRED
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 10:21 am
Hi,
I am trying to print my first screen T-Shirt. Nice and easy, black on white.
I have exposed my screen and it looks OK to me, the image seems very clear and the background is dark.
I fix to my carousel and using what I would call a very firm pressure, the image only prints with loads of speckly white bits.
Some experimenting and if I go back four or five times, very hard pressure, the image does go fully black.
My ink is a nice runnyish, not hard at all.
Anybody got any bright ideas what my first actions should be?
Look forward to any help that can be offered.
Thanks in advance
Peter
