Recommended Printing Techniques

The screen should have an ample amount of ink in the frame to flood the screen after each print. Always flood the screen to prevent drying in the screen. We recommend using Water Base and Discharge Retarder to slow down the air drying process of the ink. To test best fusion of the garment, wash test to see if you are getting a complete cure from your dryer. Always put a lid on your ink even when you are printing to keep the ink fresh and keep it from drying, especially on hot days.
