what kind of ink are you using? are you mixing it well so you have a sogt feel to it, take a drill and mix it up like butter for your next attempt, also if it is too thick you might be shoving it through and it seeping under the emulsion and giveing that problem

I dont know anything about speedball inks.
Are you using the same mesh as before?
How is your off contact?

um...stop using speedball.

if you are printing shirts for other people you need to use a better ink and you will not have that problem, i know pearl carries union ink, if your printing on dark garments use their maxipake series

Have you tried going back to the squeegee you used for the red prints?

sorry, its called maxopake and its made by union, i suggest it cause its usually available at pearl, your sgueegee could be a factor but i think its your use of speedball inks, those are best used for arts and crafts t-shirts. if you want more info on a better white to use or any other problems you can pm me

its possible that your putting too much pressure with the harder durometer blade and the mesh is actually moving more than usual causing the blurred image.

Switching to a better ink will help considerably.
