Did you somehow change your off contact?
The screen needs to be about 1/8 inch above the tee.

Yes ink will "thicken" if it sits and it is always a good idea to stir it a bit before putting on the screen. I use Union ink almost exclusively and most of their inks I am able to get a decent printing consistency by just putting it in the ink well area of the screen and working it a bit with the squeegee for about a minute before I do my first flood.

I also do one or two test prints before I start my print run to get the screen properly inked.

How many prints did you try?

Also how did you clean your screen after the first time?
