Default Re: white ink on to navy blue polyester/coton

White is tricky to print. I struggled with it for a while too. But once you get the hang of it, it's easy! Like riding a bicycle, it'll just come naturally.

The biggest trick is to make absolutely sure you've cleared the screen. Sometimes this might take 3 or even 4 stokes with some whites.Slow your print stroke down if you have to. And don't flash the white unless it's smooth. Once it's flashed, that's it. And the top coat is only going to be as smooth as the first coat.

Practice on a bunch of mistake tees for a while.
