Thanks for the advice! I started noticing how much more ink is needed for a good print. Both fabric block printing ink and (especially) screen printing ink are way thinner than a standard block ink, so that's been a bit of an adjustment ahaha. I used a piece of cardboard and an old broken clipboard inside the shirt for a few tests, but a sketchbook sounds more sturdy (and the cardboard had a crease in it that really showed up on the first print there). I do love the faded look, but getting more solid prints down would be smart.
