Appreciate how informative this video is soooo much! Newer to screen printing and struggling to find actually helpful videos and so far this one has answered so many of my questions! ❤
How do you know if your water based ink is too thick or potentially dried out in the container. Struggling to know if I need to add something to it or leave it as is. Most water based inks I see look really runny but the Jacquard super opaque white I’m using is sooo thick. Having a hard time even flooding the screen without using a ton of ink
Hey! yes I know what you mean. I asked Magna Colours for you too and they said you add up to 5% water to thin it out but also stirring it a lot will help! I mist it a lot and try to keep bringing in little bit of new ink to recirculate it too.
Hey, yes I agree, just entry-level presses aren't distributing heat throughout the heating element so it's possible just not the most efficient way. Think we will do a video about three ways to cure waterbed inks soon!

Great to hear!
I had that problem with the pinholes in the top coat. It really can be tricky to work with in a hot shop, but I love the finish when it goes right.
Super
Keep working 👏👏
Wow!I want to go there.

Looks like 43T is 110 line screen here in the states. But the 43T in the video looked like yellow mesh. I'm used to seeing 110 as white mesh?
Yes us too 99% of our 110 / 43T are white too. The panels randomly have dyed yellow as an option for 110 which isn't necessary for exposures...
Yes, you can cure waterbased inks with heat press it's what we have been doing for years without any problem.

check out our latest video just about curing waterbed - I think the cold cure additive is really interesting
Do they take order from oversea??
Yes! I think they have a supplier list on their website :)
