Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
How much water are you using percentage wise?Cutting with base, roughly 80/20 should help as well.Lastly, 300 grams is about the minimum we will have in a screen. We do run all25x36's, though that doesn't make much of a difference as long as the image fits.
The only other additive we add is 2% Fixer en just to be sure the color really fixes.
We use an 80/20base for our straight DC white. We add a "titch" of water after its activated to thin it down a touch. What emulsion are you using? Reason I ask we will mist water into the screens prior to adding ink. The dry emulsion would act like a spunge and soke some of the moisture out of our inks causing it to become thick. Seems this would be worse in a dry climate.
