I hope I am understanding the question entirely. It sounds like you are not getting clean consistent coverage printing white ink on dark garments. the first thing I have to ask is are you using a flash dryer? most white ink will require a flash dry between prints. the standard method is print flash print. I'm also a bit concerned when you say you need to "reposition" the screen between prints. does your equipment have lockdowns for the screen? If you are simply laying the screen on top of the garment and then passing the squeegee across the screen with no lockdowns I would steer clear of white ink.
I was able find a good article that might
help
if I have misunderstood your question entirely please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. I have been in a biz 20 years now. I'm sure I can help you out.
