Ink is too thick

▶  Description of the problem

You ink seems way thicker than the consistence you usually observe on screen printing videos. It is not liquid enough.

▶  Possible origins

The ink pot is brand new and has never been mixed, or it needs to be mixed again after resting for a long time.

▶  Solution

You need to work it (mix it) before using it.

To work an ink, stir it with a mixing stick for 3 to 5 minutes.

If it still seems too thick, you can add a little bit of water and mix it again, (only in water-based inks, like the one we sell on our Mekanika shop), until you reach a good consistency.

Be careful, do not add too much!
