screen printing mistakes - how to fix?

[Kelly]

Hi Lena,
Sometimes (ok, more than I'd like to admit) I get an errant ink blob on my fabric when screen printing. Is there any way to fix it or is my project doomed to the rag pile? I have tried using Clorox on the spot, but it doesn't completely remove it. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Kelly

hi kelly,
once your fabric is dry there isn't a way to completely remove it, but if you catch it when the ink is wet you can try to blot it out with a damp rag.

good luck!

kelly,

this happens to me all the time! ive always been able to remove it if the ink is wet by:
1. dabbing off excess ink
2. spraying with water and dabbing with paper towel
3. using a toothbrush and water to gently scrub ink off
4. repeat steps 2 & 3 until its gone!

hope that helps!

Thank you, Lena and Julie, for your helpful comments. I usually print on white, so it's extra tricky to get it all the way out.
Thanks!
