a simple test can assess whether your screens are slowly
getting exposed in your screen coating or coated screendrying room. Read the full article on the Impressions
website at impressionsmag.com/lighting.

Wash Tee
The advancements in the production

that are lighter, yet more durable than ever. One aspect to printing a lighter-weight fabric involves minimizing the ink film's feel on the garment
surface. In this installment of the Impressions Tech Tips Newsletter,
sponsored by American Apparel, contributing writer Rick Davis demonstrates with the ladies' Ultra Wash tee (style RSA6320).
