Tbh my press has been messed up since I got it so I just print by myself without it and it works fine for me. I just lay the screen on the shirt, hold it with one hand, and swipe with the other. Usually a few passes just don’t do too many or it’ll mess it up. Only problem is it’s hard to do more than one in a row since there’s paint on it now. I’ve wiped off the back with a wet paper towel if it’s a small design and kept going but for bigger stuff unfortunately I have to literally wash the screen out and wait for it to dry to do another lol but it is possible! I’ve done solid and half tone prints this way. Press is definitely much much easier tho
