If you look at a screen thru a loupe you will see all kinds of crap in the knuckles of the mesh, if its not pressure wash really good even old ink.  I tend to get in a rush and plow thru screen trying to get them back in production and end up with a mess on the exposure unit.

Key to troubleshooting this problem is that the *%$**#@ pinholes are in the same place on every screen.

Remember, DTS, no glass, no film, no carrier sheets, all are the most common source of pinholes, just saying  ::)

rob, if you like the pink and higher solids, try this stuff. around 55.00/gal and you don't have to add diazo. we like it, compares to HVP, CT-R, QTX, textile PV etc.
