If I walk into another shop and hear the "ripping and popping" of screen lifting off the garments or tacky platens on press I’m gonna scream. We have all seen the slow motion picture of a drop of milk spreading little droplets in all directions, well ink does the same thing. It spatters when torn off the garment at high speeds. If your screen does not gently pull away from your print after the squeegee has passed over an area leaving the screen and the garment separated by the end of the print stroke then you do not have enough off contact and if you need more than a slight amount then you need tighter screens.
Frank Lee Speaking…
The tighter your screen tension is the cleaner and brighter your prints will be. Use tight screens.
