Static buildup on screen press

[Pixels Are Bad Mmmkay?]

The last couple of days we have been having problems when printing t-shirts with white plastisol ink. It would seem that static electricity is building up and the fine particles of ink are jumping off the screen and leaving specs of white ink on shirt sleeves and on the face and shirt of whoever is printing. Is this not unheard of? Is there a cure for it? Maybe there is someway we can ground the press to eliminate static buildup? Any advice would much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

get some static guard spray....I used to happen to us in the winter too.
Run it through the dryer, most wil wipe off when cured, they remind me a little spiderwebs.

Yep, happens now and then. You can try a humidifier too, depending on the size of your printing room.
