5. How to print white color on t-shirts?
In order to screen printing with the color you should use a low white mesh count such as 110-195. Using screens on the higher side is better because it will use less ink. If you are a neophyte or a beginner you should use a 110 mesh count for easier color application. The lower the mesh count the more ink you will have to put down. Achieving a brighter white print will create a great hand feel.
When using emulsion try sticking with something which has a high solids build such as Ulano Orange. Use a screen with a good mesh tension for better results. If the mesh isn’t tight enough you will not get the snap back from the screen. With a low tension screen, the mesh will tend to sit in the ink rather than releasing it.
