I am just having the typical beginner probs...
uneven emulsion spreads on my larger scrims... mixing ink to the right consistency...
planning out how many colors you actually want is kind of tricky also...
i have pretty good 4-8color offset background but screen printing is is a whole new ballgame... being pigment based the inks can overprint and multiply over each other to some degree but they are not semi-transparent like CMYK inks so you don't have that additive process creating your image like a 4-color offset press.
so planning your colors takes some time... in addition you never know how the colors will come out until you do your ink tests and pull them through your screen...
