Is your screen sticking to the shirt when your print or are you printing one color and then the ink sticky after it's been flashed?

 

Ink in screen sticking to shirt, one color run so far but have a two color to do

 

I work in colder temps than that & the only effect it has on my inks is they are hard to push through the screen for the first couple of prints, depending on the color.
Are you using spray adhesive to hold your shirts down?
Some other possible issues...off contact needs to be adjusted, screen not stretched tight enough, not clearing the image area of ink before lifting screen.

 

I agree. I would check all those things. I have had off contact issues and had to slowly pull the screen up so the shirt wouldn't move.

 

It's been super cold this winter in my studio, my solution to super thick white has been to put a thick flood on the screen, and leave that screen above the flash for a minute, then when you go to print its like butter.

Sometimes i have to do it every 6-8 prints. I've also started doing it when i print sweaters at it leaves them with such a smooth print.

Don't worry about the ink curing in the screen, you'd need to leave it there for a long time for enough rising heat to cure the ink that way.

 

Guys.. Go to Ryonet and buy a cureable reducer. It's a milkey additive you mix into your inks and it thins it out to super smooth consistency. I use it with my White due to its high opacity. Try it , it's only a few bucks..

 

I don't hesitate to add a little reducer to opaque inks in the winter time. Contrary to popular belief, a small amount of reducer will not noticeably affect the opacity of the prints. It will be far easier to print, especially as the flash warms up the pallets and softens up the ink. The feel of the prints will be softer and smoother too.

 

I also find the pallet adhesive doesn't work well until I have run each under the flash for a while to warm up some.
