Try your second stroke with no flood. Just pull a small amount in front of the squeegee a fill stroke. Squeegee at about 80 degrees with lighter pressure than the first. Are you flashing between strokes. If not that will help
Text Blows out on hoodies
Hey Guys,
I am trying to print this logo
![]()
The issue is that the small text "Oregon Gymnastics Academy" appears great when printed on shirts but blows out on hoodies (zip hoodies to be more specific).
I have tried a 110 mesh and a 280 with plastisol. The 110 pushes to much ink through and the 280 leaves to much ink behind so I have to give it another pass. On the second pass it blows out the ink as well.
I assume a mesh count in the middle is what the doctor ordered but the issue is that I got the majority of them printed by a buddy with the 280 mesh and only need to do 2 more on my own so it doesn't make sense to burn another screen unless absolutely necessary. I used a cheaper ink today. Perhaps using a premium brand such as Union Ink will help?
Thanks in advance all!
