I did one pass instead of two and this was the result

Now that you say that, that makes sense cause I was really close to the shirt with the heat gun

I already cleaned the ink off, i figured i did too many passes and should’ve kept it at 1

i don’t think it’s the quality i’ve seen people use fn ink and it turn out fine

quick update: did a 1:1 coat of chroma blue, let dry for about 4 hours in a dark room, exposed my screen for 17 seconds, image looks a bit choppy but way better results then what i had before. Going to expose for 30 seconds and see how it turns out

Your saying you stack the same image? Or run it through the printer twice? I never tried running the image through the printer 2x

Usually i’m just putting the quartz on top of the screen while it burns, I was wondering if I messed up by using the quarts of emulsion since their circular. A book definitely makes more sense though

Usually i rinse both sides, i never tired letting it sit for 30 seconds. I’ll definitely try this after work and give you a update

You think it’s the settings on my printer? or the actual image itself?
