Ink testing results
	Yudu Inks Perfect consistency to produce a nice, crisp image Screw off top allows for ink salvage Ink easily washes out of screen when cleaned up prior to ink drying Allows for screens to be saved for future use Water-based inks make cleanup easy
	Textile INKS Very runny Couldn't easily save ink Ink bled through t-shirt onto platen
	Fabric Paint Design was faded Not a nice, crisp image Ink dried instantly onto screen and ruined screen - Hard to clean off - Plugged up image on screen Stained squeegee
	Fashion Paint Opening in bottle is too small to reuse ink Ink plugged up and ruined screen
	Ruined Screen This screen has been washed, but the fabric inks have remained lodged in the screen, ruining it for further use.
