Maybe this video will help some new guy who is venturing in to the screen printing on black t-shirts. I am looking for something for me, and I find sometimes interesting old videos.

ps: I don't have a clue how to embed video. So if anybody know and is willing to share I would be happy

Yes, Bill Hood is famous for teaching printing techniques, in particular the single-stroke white on black.

With the right combination of Plastisol ink, conditioning the ink, mesh, emulsion thickness, and stroke, it can be done. However, if you want to achieve as little hand as possible, thinner layers and print/flash/print are probably the way.

Water base is entirely different. It penetrates into the garment rather than sitting on top like Plastisol. To get a bright looking white on black print, you need to get a layer down and flashed, so the next layer will stop there rather than going into the fabric.

Bill even pokes in here from time-to-time. I asked if this really worked a few years ago and he was the first to answer.
