Hi Zubie

This sounds like lack of water pressure or over-exposure to me! What kind of pressure are you using?

Where are you exposing your screen? If you have to go through your garden or such to get to where you're exposing it, it's advisable to either cover it with something that won't let the light through or place your image on the screen (securing it with glass so that it doesn't move and no light gets under it) before you expose it to any light. Other than that, you might just be over-exposing it when it comes to your actual light source...

Try exposing it for less time. Good luck!

- Annie

more than likely over exposure. lower the burn time.
