PRINTING:
you need a squeegie and ink.
I hear plastisol is good, but it's not water soluble, so you'd have to deal with nawsty chemicals to clean up.it's best to not have a solid base to screen on... i always used a stack of newsprint which has just enough give for good screening.
spread out a line of ink across the tp of your graphic (off the printing areas)... how much depends on a lot of things, it's kind of trial an error, but if in doubt, use to much, you can always wipe some off at the bottom.
pull your squeegie (and the ink) down with even preasure...you don't need to press hard, but be relativly firm.
once you hit the bottom, flip your squeegie around and pull it back across the graphic... you might want to do another pass but you should be okay with the two.pull off your screen and marvel at theshirt you've just created...
after the ink has dried get a piece of cotton and place it ovet the graphic and iron it good (according to the instructions on the ink)
voila!
