“The most challenging factor in flat tone and blotch printing is achieving perfect micro-evenness in any shade of color that the artwork requires. Any deviation during printing, such as wrinkles in the screen or unequal open area in the screen holes, will lead to inconsistent application of the paste to the fabric. This ultimately results in disturbing unevenness and well-known center selvedge of the colors of flat tones and blotches on printed textile. This requires the right open area of the screens in order to cover fabric sufficiently and evenly.”
