Default Glitter Ink

Tried glitter ink for the first time yesterday & results were not good. It seems that the ink is too thick. It doesnt print "smoothly" as other inks & the results are extremely think imo. Can an additive be added to "water" it down or smooth it out a bit? The ink feels more like a glob rather than a smooth paste.
Thanks in advance for all help provided.

Default Re: Glitter Ink

We just did a run of a few dozen shirts with glitter ink. Make sure you have the right mesh count on your screen ( 33 for ours ). It may take a few print strokes to get good coverage. The ink is really thick and it will climb the squeegee on you, but the results can be pretty striking.

Good luck!
