Or does it have to be of a watery constituency?
I have some thick screen printing ink i'm wondering if that would go through it ok?
Cheers

Yes, you can reduce the ink to the point that it will spray.
No, you should not spray it.
"Thick Ink" sounds like you are either going to spray a textile ink or a UV ink. The textile ink is made thick to bond with the outside of the textile material only. The thinner you make it the more it will penetrate the material. This runs the risk of a person having a skin reaction to the ink. The other draw back is you will lose opacity when you thin the ink.
As for UV ink I would not even try to spray it.
Good Luck

Paint has to be of a consistence that it will go through the unit. Thick paints and paints not properly ground will clog the unit. Many paints are OK but need to be thinner. You are best using paints that are made for air brush units.

I'd make it as watery as needs be to not get stuck in the nozzel. You might have to experiment a little. However, I don't know that I'd use silk screen printing ink - it's rather too viscous.
