plastic · May 5th, 2008

Thanks for the reply motoskin. I am alittle confused though, I thought the problem is that I am not putting down enough ink through the mesh? Wouldn't a finer mesh allow even less ink through? Or is this a resolution problem?

My exposure setup was rediculously ghetto hehehe...
Got a 250 watt bulb from my local Wolf Camera, got some 8.5" diameter pie tin from supermarket. Put said bulb and tin onto my desk lamp set it 12" away from my frame. I use 2 layers of the same transparency tapped together, weighted it down with a 3/8" plexiglass on top. Put the whole thing on top of a black t-shirt covered folding chair in my closet. Exposed it for exactly 10 min per instructions. Like I said... Not too professional hehehe...
