I have no squeegie tech. at all as I am just figuring this all out.

This screen was made with the Ulano film cut on the pltter, weeded and applied to the screen.

The actual print is solid whate compared to the pic. It is way solid kinda like a cold peel opaque plastisol transfer. It actually compares to vinyl applications and isnt the feel I am after.

Any advice or tips post them please.
Either your image is too big or you don't have a big enough squeegee. Either way first stroke you want to flood second stroke you want to clear.


That is a pretty cool design and if that's your first print ever (white being the hardest for beginners) you'll have no problem.
