    All these new inks and text are nothing compared to having to make your inks up from scratch and we didn't have flash dry we used to do 100mtr tables of aprons and t towels each colour was 5 prints apart from each other with screens over lapping both prints on ether side of the 1 your on with a forward and back motion on the squeegee by hand with much bigger steel screens with handles on both sides and about a ltr of ink in screens not just blobs like all these so called printers do these days
