Can someone explain to me how and why you get globs of ink after pressing the squeegee across the image? I don't know what I am doing, I am flooding the screen and them applying pressure with a squeegee at 80 degrees and I still get ink running under the screen causing awful splatters ruining my image. I'm using water based paints.
How is the ink splattering? It takes a lot for silkscreen ink to splatter. Is your screen to far away from the garment and the ink is splattering when the screen pops back from the shirt?

I was using Versatex, and I think my screen might be too far from the fabric. I can say it was at least 1/4", too far right?
On waterbase you want almost no off contact. You are press the ink to wrap the fibers not lay on top like you do with plastisol.
Thanks! I will try to cut back on the off contact.My only worry is the ink will not adhere to the fabric but stay on the mesh, I had this problem my first attempt.
