   The key in that instance is to produce two kinds of product in terms of desigs 1 minimalistic in this case and 2 complex like a tye dye with a crap ton of screen printings…

   Not really, it comes out in very fine strands if you do it right, ends up just staying resident for futher printing anyway. We usually only do it when we’re freescreening.

   Ink’s cheap anyway.

   Actually, you can thin the ink out. We add curable reducer to our splatter inks. It makes them nice and slippy. It depends on the colors though. Red is always a little too thick (I assume because it contains the most pigment of any color) and black is always a little too thin.

   And it’s true, this style isn’t really for mass runs, only for our freescreening events, which produce unique garments to customer spec each time.

   i wish you could thin the ink out, make it more splattery- but in any case a really cool effect! might be tough on large runs but still every shirt is unique

   Actually, It is messy… we now use syringes instead… we get more control.

   Meat marinade injectors actually… from the dollar store.

    I love the idea every shirt is ‘unique’ kinda, but here is an idea you might want to try using a ketchup bottle for the for the driped on ink, it should be a bit less messy
