If you mean, spreading. May be you can try a finer mesh.
We use 62Thread/cm for water base.

whats the cause of ink leaking when screenprinting?
im new to tshirt printing... and im using waterbased ink superwhite to print a black tshirt. i printed already four tshirts with ink leaking outside my design, appearing like a melting design. the emulsion is still okay... but im just wondering what might be the cause of this. i changed my squeegee, i placed an off contact. i just dont know whats causing this... need your expert advice guys. thanks...

One of two things. Mesh size or ink viscosity.
What mesh size are you using? A lower mesh will push too much ink through.
How thick is your ink? Is it creamy or runny? You may have to let your ink sit for a little while to evaporate some of the water content. This will thicken it up.
Let me know,

Did you stir up the ink real good before you put it on the screen? Try s higher mesh like 155-200 mesh.
