The moment I realized my screens were way too tight
I spent 6 months wondering why my fine detail prints kept bleeding on shirt number 30 or so. Then a guy at a shop in Austin told me to barely tighten my mesh and suddenly my lines were crisp. Has anyone else found that looser screens actually work better for home setups?

I always thought tighter mesh meant more control, but turns out I was overstressing the whole thing. When I loosened up my screens, the ink actually had room to breathe and stop bleeding like crazy. Plus, I noticed my emulsion didn't crack as fast, which saved me from re-screening all the time. Have you tried different mesh counts, or did you just adjust the tension?

Dropping to a 156 really sorted out my bleed issues.
