Yes. Always the print or substrate side. Squeegee side tends to put to much pressure on the image. Also, wet it on both sides, let it sit for a moment then washout. Less water pressure hitting the emulsion. Dope videos, I’m a commercial screen printer and brand owner. I’m always learning. I have been listening to your videos while I’m in the shop. Great content!
Aww man I had the same problem starting out. Pissed me off so much cause the money I’m spending on vinyls and to start this screen printing up really made me ? If I wanna keep doing this. I still ? It but with anything it takes time and practice. I have orders lined up I just need to learn how to make it come out clean good thing for practice shirts
I've read you shouldn't wash out from the inside, only from the outside (shirt side) of the screen. I made the same mistake. Another piece of advice, watch out for dust. I wasn't paying attention to how I stored my screens and when I had trouble washing one out, I noticed all these dust particles in the emulsion. It made the emulsion come out in chunks in places. I also recommend filling all your ink cartridges on your printer with black ink made for separations. I found some at an online re-ink supplier for around $70 for a large bottle.
I find it best to soak your high detailed screen in warm water for a minute or so and use a spray nozzle with all the different types of adjustments (Jet, soak, shower, mist etc etc) to get your stencil. Power washers tend to cause major halftone blowouts or very subtle ones where it tends to effect the print quality.
Im very experienced in halftones on paper, fabric, etc. I used to make films with a stat camera. Hit me up if you have questions. Been screen priinting since 1987
Well, some time has passed...it was the exposure unit I was using more than anything. I've been great since this video....I...I just don't post anymore content
Way to problem-solve! The screen printing communities are fantastic. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

You might want to rinse your screens out on the print side of the screen, rinsing from squeegee side could cause a lot of problems.

Also loving that beard can't wait to leave the Army to get my beard back
So you printed two transparency papers put them on top of each other ?
To get a darker film positive.
Turns out my issue wasn't that. I had a starter exposure unit and half tones just wasn't going to be easy on it
Did you use seperation and rip software?
Nope. Good ol fashioned Photoshop ripping lol
Bro you sound like the dude on t-shirt riches
