When printing with AQUATONE Inks, it is essential to flood the image area between print strokes, immediately after lifting the screen. Small deposits or thin films of ink retained in fine mesh are prone to dry in quickly. 

By flooding straight away, fresh ink will wet out these deposits and prevent drying-in. 

• Ensure screen is hydrated before starting the print run.  
• Ensure a nice even flood between prints, around 1-2 mm thick 
• Ensure humidity is greater than 40-50% RH in the print room 

• Sometimes a slightly lower mesh count can help. Maybe drop to a 77 T (195 tpi), although this should be balanced with the propensity of low viscosity ink to run through a coarser mesh.
