Erick, allow me to give you a suggestion. The first and perhaps most important thing to understand is that the ink is not transferred by pushing the ink through the mesh, but through a capillary action when the wet ink comes into contact with the dry substrate. You don't need any more pressure than to place the bottom of the mesh into contact with the substrate. This is enough pressure to add a bit more ink into the mesh opening and transfer the ink properly. This is the reason why you are having trouble on the large, more open areas.
G. William Hood - Hey Bill, what is the secret to getting the ink to clear the screen with just that little pressure? A little curable reducer? Silicone? Super low angle? The he lower angle helps fear the screen but doesn't deposit enough ink. Thoughts? THANKS!!!
Good helpful video. I'm just getting into screen printing and was pushing and pulling because that's what I've seens other printers do. Thanks for the helpful advice.
One thing, I don’t know why it doesn’t and matter how hard you try. I’ve tried so hard and got so far in the end it doesn’t really matter what way you squeegy... Mike shinoda.
