TIP #43-Web spray mount and flashing hoodies first.

TIP #43-Web spray mount and flashing hoodies first.
 
 When I screen print on hoodies, I found that web type spray mount on my platten is better than mist. I get a much better hold, especially for the 50/50 hoodies, which makes the prints cleaner.
Mist for tees and web spray mount for hoodies.

 Once I load and before hitting the hoodie with the first layer of ink,  I flash it for about 10 seconds or so and let it cool for a few. This pre-flash allows the fibers to shrink in the heat before I put down any ink resulting in better coverage. Both of these tips help keep all subsequent ink hits aligned.
