AMANDA CLAIRE: Okay, so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to take some of this ink
and I've got a little disposable spoon here and I'm not going to put it right on the image.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to kinda make sort of a like a bead or like a line
of ink to one side of the image, all right. And it's got to be long enough so that the
squeegee can pull the ink across sort of in one--ideally in one swoop, I mean if you screw
up you can kinda go back and try and do another pull of the ink but ideally you want to be
able to do it in one pull. So what I'm doing is I'm kinda setting up a bead--you call this
a bead of ink, kind of on one side. I'm going to make it sort of uniform, I mean, it's not
a big deal and so this is, remember the reason it's not going onto the shirt right now is
because there is glue on that part of the screen that is keeping it from going into
the shirt. But you see what I'm doing I'm making sure that that bead is long enough
to cover the height of the image, okay. So I'm just going to kinda, I'll just put a little
bit more, I probably have little too much here but all right, so there we go. So I've
got the bead on there and this'll be the first print and so right--so, I'm not going to do
it yet but basically the idea is we're going to put the squeegee in then we're going to
pull it across with some pressure and then the ink will be all over the place and hopefully
when we then lift the screen our image will be on the shirt.
