Default Re: dark shirts and yellow ink

if its just one color, i would try to skip the white underbase and hit it twice. print, flash, print, cure. make sure your stencil/screen is nice and thick on the print side. if your screen is to thin (not enough emulsion) you are just mashing the ink down into the shirt. i have made some screens not to much detail but some, about a 160 mesh, that i have used white ink on black tees. one hit was almost enough, but with two it was perfect. also like the other members mention use some off contact, and you shouldnt have to press to hard. when you dont use a white underbase, you can get away with a little off registration without a major notice, especially if you dont have a higher end machine
