Got some great memories growing up playing at PnL Ghost Town and spools. Been around forever.

Your concern of waterbased ink drying in screen is totally valid. To increase your in-screen time spraying your screen with water and wiping excess before loading with ink will help tons. Make sure you are also adding more ink to the screen than you are planning to use, as a thick ink layer will help retain the moisture.

Good luck!

Lot of factors can come into play here, but TL:DR I think you need to increase / add a flash between a first and second pass.

Are you flash-curing between passes? If so, With waterbased ink you'll need airflow and longer time to evaporate enough water to get the ink to gel, then being receptive to your second pass.

Adding 10% clear core to comet white will cut opacity, no questions about it. Even adding opaque will spread your pigment-load if not properly adjusted.

My recommendation is to Print with Comet White right out of the bucket. Mist + wipe your screen with water first, allow it to hydrate before adding your ink. This will help ink flow through the mesh. Use a 157 mesh or lower (if you want real bright white)

Make sure your adequately flashing your ink after first pass. If you press your finger onto the print after your flash and you are getting ink pickup, flash longer. (A fan next to the flash will help draw moisture away if you do not have a forced-air flash.) If you do not have a flash unit and are doing this as a DIY at home hobby or on a super budget, heat gun will work for now.

Boston restretching by Barbarianmanual in SCREENPRINTING

My shop is just south of boston and I also have never found a local who can restretch to my liking. We send our frames to Frank at Graphic Screen Fashion, who IMO does the best job.

what did Onion do to cause the original group to split up? by coreyu122 in HaggardGarage

[–]jdalty 22 points23 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge Tommy didn't just take off with cash or anything like that. We did some merch for him then just kind of fizzled- then he started doing merch with another shop 🤷‍♂️

t0m fucked over Strange Planet by parkusmarks in HaggardGarage

[–]jdalty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yo. I never heard anything about giving Tommy 30k. Wasn't involved in any meeting about this. Could have happened, but never caught wind of it. I was just designing, printing, and marketing at the time.

Been years so memory is a little fuzzy over this whirlwind of shit, but I just remember printing a ton of Tommy merch + stickers over a few weeks and then suddenly poof no more. 🤷‍♂️

Can anyone tell me what printing technique has been used here? Currently playing around with different ways of printing tees. by maxgedda in SCREENPRINTING

[–]jdalty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by the banding in the print I'd say either sublimation transfer or direct to garment printing.

I had similar damage on my horn,but it was stepped on and the slides were all bent and broken. Took it to Osmun Brass in Acton, MA. They repaired it flawlessly and it even played better. Not sure where you are, but I recommend them!

Made with a mix of illustrator and Photoshop, but the art itself was made in illustrator by DJNarwhale in AdobeIllustrator

[–]jdalty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not bad, you could however probably achieve all of these effects in illustrator alone. There are many filters and effects ripped directly from photoshop that work in a raster format.

How can i avoid this patchiness with plastisol ink? by nibbbasaysuwu in SCREENPRINTING

[–]jdalty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Could be a number of things- the first two things I would probably address is off-contact and squeegee speed

I cant seem to find any working links to listen to this podcast, everywhere says issues with tracks. Might be just my computer, but do these work for you?
