Default Re: Having a nightmare here Any Help Please

Are you using the funky squeegees for pushing? I believe stretch devices sells them.

Is the mesh popping off the shirt/print about 1-1.5 inches behind the squeegee? - Try raising your off contact a little more.

On the second pass try not flooding. You'll need some ink in front of the blade when printing.

It almost looks like the ink is puffing up. A lot of whites out there have a blowing agent (puff additive) added to help with opacity. Possible this is the puckering your seeing. Also the texture looks like the mesh pattern. Raising your off contact slightly should help.

I switched from Rutland whites to Wilflex. The Rutland was really thick and tough to work with. We use Wilflex Buffalo white for under base and multi purpose white prints and Wilflex Tiger white for our highlight white prints and white on lt shirts.

You might see about getting a free quart sample of the buffalo white and try it
