The more ink, the better. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Galaxy Ink can be printed with a push or pull squeegee stroke. Please make sure all screens are printed with the same method for consistency. After every print stroke, flood the screen, allowing ink to sit on top of the stencil to avoid drying. Do not do a hard flood as the ink in the image area can then dry out faster. If the screen clogs or exhibits drying in the print, re-flood and aggressively print again. These extra print strokes should clear the screen. This is likened to flushing out the image with ink. If the ink does not clear the screen, spray a small amount of warm water into the stuck areas of the screen and wipe it out with a rag. If you are leaving your screen for an extended period of time, be sure to leave your screen flooded completely. If your ink begins to scale over (dry up), spray with water to rewet the ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFLASHING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor flashing, forced air flash is optimal.

Store squeegees in a dry environment at room temperature. The blade should be allowed to recover from the ink and solvent, resting for a period of 24 hours.
