A practical framework for diagnosing and fixing screen printing challenges
THE HOWE METHOD breaks down your entire print process into five core fundamentals:
Screen Tension
Are your screens built for consistency, or are they setting you up for failure before the first print?
Stencil
Does your stencil thickness and exposure stay consistent from job to job, or do you see variation in detail and ink deposit?
Squeegee & Floodbar
Are your tools sharp and properly set, or are they forcing ink instead of shearing it cleanly across the screen?
Ink Curing
Are you curing by temperature, not just time — and verifying with the right tools to ensure long-term durability?
Process Control
Do you measure and record your print variables, or are you relying on guesswork to keep quality consistent?
Client Success Stories
"Before I met Alan, he came into my shop at a time when I didn’t know much of anything. He made a huge impact on how we imaged and coated screens, and the little takeaways he shared were truly life-changing for our business. Fast forward more than nine years he’s still a great friend who continues to fill us with knowledge and insight. Alan’s a great dude."
Joe Sudrovic
Owner of Gorilla Joe
"At Gorilla Joe Printing, I started out as a press operator and would often talk with Alan about different inks, emulsions, and techniques. Now, as the production manager, my questions have gotten bigger but Alan is still always there with the answers. We recently had a huge reflective job that we weren’t getting the best results on, and Alan pointed us in the right direction practically holding our hand through the process. The job turned out perfect and we ended up looking like heroes to our customer."
Nate
Production Manager at Gorilla Joe Printing
"What makes Alan exceptional isn’t just his technical expertise in screen printing but his instinct to teach, to guide, and to help others avoid the pitfalls that quietly drain time and money from a process. He’s a true master of his craft—able to take a chaotic production issue and, with just a few insights or tweaks, turn it into a showpiece of process efficiency and visual excellence."

Head of Manufacturing at Outdoor Cap
