Default Need help aligning Multiple screens

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to make several shirts using silk screen printing. I'm using 4 colors for a logo that's being placed at the top right of the shirt. I've never printed with more than one color, so I'm not exactly sure what the best way is to align all the films onto the screens. I've already gone through one set of screens trying to line them up but failed. I've placed registration marks on the film and everything, but the only issue I'm having is actually aligning the film to the screen. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Practice Practice Practice.
It take a lots of practice and experience to get good at alignming of film properly on the screens. Keep trying and testing and you'll get it.
