Wrong (This way is typical of how many “experienced” printers print.)

  1. Use 110 mesh for everything.
  2. Use low tension screens.
  3. Print the print on-contact.
  4. Use the ink direct out of the container with no adjustment.
  5. Print with a number of strokes in each direction to “work” the ink into the garment.
  6. Flash cure every color.
  7. Have a VERY thick “bulletproof” print.
Right (This is how good printers print.)
  1. Use the proper mesh for the job. Higher mesh counts for multi-color work.
  2. Make sure the screens are tensioned properly.
  3. Print off-contact - even if it means using shims on the press.
  4. Reduce the ink if necessary to make it flow and penetrate better.
  5. Use just one stroke to make a clean print with minimal ink deposit.
  6. Flash-cure only if necessary.
  7. Have a soft print that has good detail and can be done in high production.
