The un-even amount of ink. I am using Union Ink on 110 mesh with a 70D squeegee. It appears to only do it on my black shirts. It also seems like

looks like you might need some more pressure on that side or more off contact. is there ink left in the image area of the screen after the pass?

Yes, I agree with ReplicantGraphic. Either more pressure or more off contact. Are the stars meant to look that way also?

seems like your inks is sticking on the back of your screen..looks like you dont have enough off contact and/or your screen doesnt have enough tension..also, seems like you dont have a good stencil because there are parts that have inks that were not supposed to be there in the first place?

Two words...

OFF CONTACT

 

[BroJames]

A liitle puzzling is that the TS says this happens only on his black tees. But too much ink scatter to be caused just by poor or uneven off contact.

increase the off contact....dont flood the screen..and try a push stroke....and 1 more thing....use enough spray tack to hold the shirt to the board.

Not sure if you are on an a manual or auto press, but I get this sometimes when I get into a rhythm and start printing too fast. When I slow down, things go much better.

Make sure you a re clearing the screen also. The first pic looms like you did not clear the screen.

after looking at the pics closer and studying them closer...I am thinking the shirt is sticking to the screen....to prevent this....use more off contact or more spray adhesive to hold the shirt to the board....also a little trick I have learned is to snap your wrist at the end of the print stroke this will help the screen snap off the shirt and leave a clean sharp priint......hope this helps.

ink may be too thick

 

[UniqueInk805]

I agree with Inked Apparel. The snapping wrist trick works well and combine that with more off contact you should be good to go.

Proper off contact couldn't be expressed enough. Trust me, I learned the hard way.=)

 

[mikelmorgan]

OFF CONTACT!!! Plus a good sharp squeegee to sheer the ink and more glue on plate. What is causing this is the ink is sticking to the back of the screen. When you pull the screen up it is sticking to the ink left in the screen or the screen itself. One other thing, make sure you don't have ink resting on your screen where the opening (or design) is on the screen.

 

[BroJames]

Yes, the adhesive is very important which is why aside from the table glue I normally use, I always have a can of sprayway #82/84 which I apply whenever I noticed any part of the shirt is lifted(or has move) as I lift the screen.

How about those splattered inks where initial prints are said to be OK?

tight screen, right mesh, parallel platens, off contact, good stencil, right ink.. all of these should be examined... good fill stroke, nice easy push stroke goes a long way!
