So I am having some issues with printing my white ink (Triangle Phoenix White) through 200 mesh count screens. I print the test print, and all looks good, all ink is cleared from the screen, it's clean and 100% clear. But then I go to print onto the garment using the same pressure, technique, ect. and nearly all the ink remains in the screen. It is taking me upwards of 6 passes to get good coverage on dark green shirts. I feel like I am doing something wrong. I have a very detailed image... so figured it would look better with a higher mesh count. Did I go to high?
Also I have been using this particular screen; printing occasionally for the past 3 weeks or so. As I understand it as long as you make sure to clean your image area of all ink before storage the screen should last as long as I want. But I am still very new to this whole game, So I could be doing something totally wrong. Ive managed to get by on the first 50 shirts. Its just the last 15 or so that seem to not clear the screen of all the ink. Any tips or experienced knowledge would be appreciated thanks!
