I have had issues with my screens not coming clean during wash-out. Today I decided to hook up my pressure washer and really blast them. The pressure washer REALLY makes a difference. The first couple screens came clean. One screen still has a little ghost image but not bad. Now I am working on my older screens that really look bad. I am hoping them come clean as well. I may need to have a few of them re-meshed or I may just buy new screens. It will cost $13 to have one re-screened. I need to add in the shipping cost too. It is free shipping back to me but I have to get the screens to Arkansas. It may just be cheaper to buy new ones.
Actually, a better investment would probably be the Newman Roller Screens. With the Newman screens I can put new screen on them whenever its needed. I will also be able to get better tension on the Newman screens. Even though I have not used my screens very much, I am sure the tension is very low, which does affect the final print. Once I get my website up and start actually selling my shirts, I will be purchasing the Newman screens. Having the best equipment definitely makes a difference.
More screens to clean!!
