Thin Thread Mesh Explained | Deep Dive With Colin
Welcome back to another Deep Dive with Colin! Today we're getting the lowdown on thin-thread mesh. This type of mesh has the potential to increase your print quality, but it also requires special care and attention. Colin dives into why it’s so useful and how to handle it in your shop.
Mesh Count and You
Different mesh counts are used for different applications in the screen printing process. What is mesh count? Well, mesh count is a measure of how many threads of polyester (used to be silk, centuries ago, hence ‘silkscreening’) cross each other per square inch of the screen. For example, a 110 mesh screen would have 110 threads crossing per square inch. The higher the mesh count, the finer the holes are in the screen.Â
