But it's also because i don't know how to clean them. and if you don't keep them wrapped and moist (i've done this for a week in the middle of printing before) they dry out and and become unusable. However, i do suspect that there is some way to clean them. i'm just not in the loop. If you find out a way, let me know!<BR/><BR/>Burning the screen twice- hmmm. well, i suppose you could... but not if there was already paint on it. and you'd have to be careful... is there a specific reason you wouldn't just burn the whole design at once?<BR/><BR/>NOW, onto you other questions-<BR/><BR/>It's possible that your design is too close to the edges of the stage? maybe it's not burning evenly because it's not getting even light? not sure if that makes sense. my gocco is a double size one so i usually center a smaller design. meaning i never deal with designs near the edges.<BR/><BR/>have you tried using the blue filter sheet when you burn your screens? it's supposed to ensure a crisper burn or something. i always use it just to be safe.<BR/><BR/>As for the large areas of ink, i haven't figured out a good way to handle that. the only advice i can give is to make your text inside the bubble a little thicker to compensate. <BR/><BR/>The thing about gocco is it's not perfect. like there will be little pieces missing here and there (though the screen should definitely burn evenly). I've had so many gocco debacles i can't even begin to list them all here. but you'll get the hang of it!<BR/><BR/>good luck with anything and definitely feel free to email me if you have anymore questions.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291233186222706297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125496126054454692.post-25941532867100173002009-01-16T07:09:00.000-05:002009-01-16T07:09:00.000-05:00Thanks Emily!
