So just got up and running this past week, I’m still sorting out some equipment issues but I think I got a decent screen and have been trying to get my first print down.

I have a host of problems and worked a couple out on cardboard and started to get some decent prints so I moved on to a couple of shirts and i can’t get this even close lol

My biggest problem is the edges of my design (all text) have barely any ink, and a second pass dumps way too much ink and causes globing. My squeegee spans the entire print and I hold it on the outsides trying to ensure enough pressure is applied to the edges.

I’m assuming it’s a technique issue but I’m not even sure how to go about fixing it, any help would be much appreciated

Edit: I’m using xTool studio from the xTool website, I got mixed up after watching so many videos and thought XCS was the name of the new one.

I just got an S1 40w and the screen printing bundle.

I'm attempting to engrave my first screen, I have installed the screen jig and placed my screen inside the S1. I noticed that my working space is lined up with the dark canvas, but my screen and the safe working space of the screen runs up and out of my canvas. Every video I watched their safe working space was inside their canvas. Did I set something up wrong? My main concern is that now my prints will not be centered on the screen.
