A good rule of thumb if you are only using center marks is to either use a square under your screen or draw horizontal lines on your board with a square to make sure the design is not skewed. The ink cracking is 99% of the time cure and not the ink. I noticed you put about six strokes in on that sample. Each stroke lays down the micron thickness of the stencil. This is more ink that the heat has to penetrate for a full cure. Plus it uses more ink which in not cheap these days. Flood, stroke, flash, flood, stroke should be the process. If you are having trouble with cure, keep the finished shirt on the board and run under the flash while unloading for a few more seconds cure. If you have been printing as long as I have then you can do one pull, flash, one pull. No loading of the screen. Those emulsion spots will almost always come out by wetting your finger with saliva and simply rubbing. Keep up the good work and good luck.

First off. I started watching you about a month ago and love your videos . What really stands out is your stretch test and if you have to remake something you do not throw a fit! You are a go getter and super handsome young man. I wish you the best in your journey. I am ordering all of my equipment in January. Definitely can't wait!! Only thing I will not have will be the conveyor dryer. The one I will get in March will be the vastex d1000. I am in an apartment and can not do anything with the electric box. Lol. But for now I will cute with the flash dryer and maybe my heat press.

Wow that made my day! I appreciate that more than you know honestly! I definitely throw a fit at times but hey its normal! Best of luck on your journey in getting your equipment! and there is no problem at all in having no conveyor dryer, as long as you have a flash your good to go! When I started out I did not have a conveyor dryer but used the flash to the best of my ability and invested into a dryer when the time was right. Hope nothing but success for you!
