Re: DIY Dip Tank Ideas?
I didn't see it on your print supply page, but do you offer a 2-in-1 ink degrader/emulsion remover for dip tanks, or in this case, recycle bins ?

Re: Newbie with some print issues...
Can't really go wrong with a nice, tight 156.

Re: Newbie with some print issues...
The double imaging and smearing could be a result of a heavy handed flood and stroke. Try easing off on one, the other, or both. Maybe no flood is necessary if the ink is super loose. Mesh count could also be a factor. If you're pushing through a 110 with a soupy ink you'll loose the fine edges. Loo...

Re: Ink not going thru screen
The superficial layer of emulsion on the unexposed side of the screen wasn't completely washed away. Looking directly at it, it's hard to spot, turn the screen horizontal and look across the image at eye level and kinda rock it back and forth, up and down. If you see a shine where there is no emulsi...

Re: Large run
I would recommend taping the shirt side of your screen, vertically, along the outside of the print area. Clear tape, masking tape, or both, or in tandem with old positives cut into strips. This keeps the sharp edges of the squeegees from leaving pinholes, which could lead to streaks of whatever colo...

Re: Printing with Stretch Additive
I had a supply rep stop by the shop and give me a tutorial on the stretch additive. Before, when a job would call for stretch I would just "add some stretch". I never knew there was a recommended % to use. I asked him if 25% was necessary, and about the over printing. He said you could go ...

Re: Printing with Stretch Additive
http://www.unionink.com/unionink/products/additives/unst.html ^This is where I got the info. I was intrigued by the idea of not having to mix. I agree it seems counter intuitive to print over top. I'll update my progress. The prints are going on wrestling singlets, so a lot more stretching than a l...
