"remember what i told you, right? what'd i say? it's grown man business..." -ant

i pressed up the first batch this past weekend. aside from re-cropping the image and running off new vellums to accommodate for a slightly larger print area, not much changed. i did, however, have some difficulty at the wash-out booth. to achieve the desired "water-based" plastisol effect i used screens with a higher thread count and tension to limit the overall ink deposit on the tee - see below. therefore creating a proper gasket via coating was a challenge; nevermind that i tend to undercoat and thus higher mesh screens tend to wash out, entirely. not good. needless to say i was gentle with the pressure-washer, maybe too gentle as some spots weren't as clean as i would have liked. perfection always has it's price. but of course the tees came out ridiculous.
