craftgrrlSo my screen printing cherry just got broken. cough. It didn't go so well. The screen came out wonderfully, but it's just the matter of the shirts.
The ink isn't evenly distributing, and I think it's because I'm not applying enough pressure or doing it on a hard enough surface. Are my guesses correct? Help me, screen printing gurus!
Factors:
-I am using a window squeegee from the dollar store
-I am printing on cardboard, which is on top of carpet
p.s. these are being made for a Decemberists Message Board kickball game this tuesday/wednesday.
50% of the money made will go to the Instrument Fund to help replace about $10,000+ worth of equipment stolen last week when they were getting ready to leave on tour. http://www.decemberists.com/fund.html if you want to donate.
