hello all.. a few days ago i tried printing with versatex super opaque white on a dark red shirt, and needless to say, the ink barely pushed through the screen.. so i tried another shirt, this one a black shirt, and i made about 6 hard passes, and finally the ink went through, but it really looked crappy.. those 6 passes caused ink to go beneath the stencil of course..

so i tried mixing in a lil water to thin it out because it's so thick! (it was the consistency of warm cake frosting) and i tried that, but still it took about 4 hard passes.

so can anyone help me out with a nice water based opaque white???

btw, im using ulano qtx emulsion, on a 110 mesh, with a fabric squeegee (round edge)

Don't use Ulano QTX. It is NOT water resistant.

Ulano QT-Discharge and TZ are water resistant and ship without a UPS hazard fee.

Water Resistant Emulsions from Ulano 925WR QT-Discharge TZ
