Unfortunately my phone's camera is really bad, but here is the most successful of the three shirts I screen printed based on my Secret 7 design.
Unfortunately none of the three shirts came out without at least one flaw.What went wrong:
-Pulling the squeegee through an A4 screen was difficult to manoeuvre, meaning that the ink was inconsistent in spots and patchy.
-I forgot to put a sheet of paper inside the shirt to stop the ink from bleeding to the inside of the back of the shirt
-I got smudges of ink on random spots despite my best efforts to keep it clean and all that I had learnt while etching last module.
-I didn't consider how hard the design would be to see on white when the ink was such a bright orange. I should've darkened the design. This is exacerbated by my poor camera.
At least I have an idea of what it's like to screen print on shirts now. This is definitely something that I will need to investigate again as I'm confident it would go much better than it has now.
