    When using waterbased ink like most hobby people I reccomend putting remainder ink in a separate container, Because it has a different base to plastisol, waterbase dries a lot quicker/more. Doing this with waterbased inks helps keep your main pot of ink fresh.

    • @ThePrintLife
      @ThePrintLife  4 роки тому

      Do most beginers use waterbased?? Yikes that would be very tough, I feel like it would be to discouraging.

      We don't store screens, but we save the films. Once we are done with a job we reclaim and recoat the screen, if a job is reordered we grab the films and reburn it. There is no way we are going to store and catalogue hundreds of screen around our tiny shop.
