Types of Mesh

specialise in silk screen printing and use screens with a mesh count between 62 to 140. A screen with a mesh count  of 62 indicates how many fibres are in one square inch of the screen and is  used to lay more ink on the garment. By identifying what mesh count a screen  has allows you to decide what type of squeegee to use. The mesh count combined  with the durometer of a blade determines how the print will come out; for  example if you have a solid white image with no thin lines or detail, printing  white on a black t-shirt we'd use a red blade (with has softer durometer),  which means less rotations and leads to a brighter print. Another popular  screen we use is a 77 mesh which offers of good amount of ink deposit and  allows for finer details to come out in a print design.
