I screen printed Shonen Knife today but ended up with really mixed results with the prints. On the first day of printing I didn't have enough ink and binder so was left with splotchy blues.
I bought more the next day but then found that keeping pressure along both sides of the print (I was pulling lengthways) was difficult. Therefore, I ended up with a lot of prints where the top blue bar was printed well, but the plate at the bottom was faded. I think I should try using the squeegee arm next time I print, as that allows more even distribution of pressure along the print.
More positively, my registration for the orange text was really good in a lot of the prints, so I'm definitely getting better at that. The non-A format size also looks great.
