Re: Ink stains on t-shirts

In the photos you see some lumps formating, when i try to print, it ruins the printing, cause ink doesn't go through where the lump is, is this normal?

I've seen many videos, and on all those videos i think that the colour is more runny than mine. Must i add something ...
