you might be flashing for too long, causing the dots to blur
maybe reverse out the art and just print the white ink? |

| what brand shirts? what brand ink? I don't know why you can't hold a dot pattern directly on light shirts. ink might to be too thin or too much pressure. |

It's been a long time...
But I was gonna suggest "thicker" ink, tighter mesh...I've been out of the game since '92. Cool image. |

Did you say you're printing white and black on a light colored shirt? Is your white a solid block or is it cut out to register with the black? I ask because if you are printing your black on top of a solid square of plastisol, your dots are not going to hold like they would if they were printed directly on the shirt.
Try printing just the black on a shirt to see if your films aren't to blame. |
