Title: 3000 shirts no carding
Post by: Screened Gear on August 09, 2016, 02:19:02 PM
I always hate printing gold shimmer. This stuff goes everywhere and you have to card it all the time even with wings unless you fill the whole screen. Well I tried something new and it worked amazingly. Its just a tape wall built with 2 inch tape. I was shocked at how it worked. I am sure I am not the first to do this, but I wanted to share. It works better then winged flood bars. I am not sure how will it would work with thicker inks.

Back when we only had a four color manual press and was trying to make magic, I'd get cardboard cut it into strip's about inch and half high and tape both sides and build walls so we could print more color's in one screen at the same time. sometime's I could print up 8 colors if the art work was setup right.
