Printing of different meshes on the screen printing

110 mesh
 The two most standard mesh sizes are 110 and 156. The 110 mesh will  lay a fairly thick ink layer. This grid is very suitable for text letters and  larger spot color designs. It is also the recommended grid for your base plate,  because you only need to perform one pass, which speeds up production. 156 mesh  will leave a moderate amount of ink, but it can provide more detail to your  image.
 38 mesh
 With grid numbers below 110, they are most commonly used for specialty  printing. You will see that the main areas where fewer grids are used are for  glitter and shimmer inks. These inks are specially designed with glitter to  provide the desired appearance. If your mesh count is too high, these flakes  may get stuck in the screen printing mesh and will not  fall on the shirt. The glitter ink will have larger, more pronounced flakes,  while the shimmer ink will have smaller particles to provide a more subtle  appearance. The 36 mesh size is ideal for glitter inks, but you can reach 64  mesh. For flash, it is recommended to use 86 mesh.
