Default Matsui Enviroline Ink Too Watery

I have used matusi WB inks before. I usually buy the opaque since I can use it with darks or lights (and it can get pretty thick). I recently bought the Purple ink for soft hand and it's very watery. I've stirred it with a stick and it doesn't help. If I try to print with it, it leaks all over the edges and I don't get a crisp print. Is there something different I'm supposed to do with it?
Thanks.
Vickie

Try:

1) Finer mesh, I'd use at least a 160 or higher.
2) Sharp squeegee.
3) Higher squeegee angle.
4) Faster print stroke.
5) Lower your off contact.

Ok, thanks. I guess I will have to use something else for now. It's too expensive to me to recreate my print on a higher mesh.
