The way you tape your screens if you plan to run more then a few dozen shirts is very important. To minimize emulsion
breakdown, you should tape the entire back of your screen within an inch of your image area. Take extra care to ensure you have
covered the area where the squeegee rests at both ends, and where the edges of the squeegee run along the screen when
flooding and printing. If the image stops before the edge of the pallet, tape the underside of the screen to protect from the sharp
pallet edge. Taping the inside of the screen in the squeegee path may damage your squeegee edge.
It is necessary that you pre-register your screens when burning them for the automatic. The highest printed part of your total
image should be no closer then 6-1/2" from the top outside edge of your screen frames. You must also center your total image
(left to right). The end result of this preregistration is if you were to stack all three (3) screens of a three (3) color job and look
through them, your image would be in registration, try to keep within 1/8" tolerance when burning screens.
