Hi I have been screen printing on and off since high school I have worked in three or four shops seen things done right and wrong, Anyways I am now running an M&R Gauntlet s auto and it is only a 6 color, I never printed wet on wet before and I need tips.
I have in an old shop been told to spray a lubricant on the bottom of the screen which does help ink getting picked up but it still seems like the wrong way to do things. I also have been reading about discharge printing as another option but the dryer does not get hot enough.
My new boss keeps saying wet on wet, every shop does it and they have no trouble with it.
the problem.
Any and all tips appreciated, the current job I am working on is a 4 color on black and needs a high light white along with an underbase If I could flash between the colors it would look great but I can't. I have no more head space for a flash and I am using the one flash to gel the underbase.
I have heard that I should have no trapping but right now the issue it with ink getting on the back of the screen, I have adjusted off contact and squeegie pressure, with no positive results.
Thanks
