How to choose screen printing mesh size?
Introduction
Enyang produces high quality  polyester polyester mesh since 1998, and we use the best jintong yarn, which is the best yarn in China to make polyester mesh and eusure our mesh quality.Our screen printing polyester mesh is widely used for printing, please kindly contact us if you have inquiry for polyester mesh product.
Details

Screen printing mesh has the following features:

High Tension: The fracture resistance is high, and the tension value of the printing mesh is significantly higher than that of the ordinary printing mesh.

High Stability: The tension remains very stable during the printing process, thus ensuring the printing quality and the service life of the screen.

High abrasion resistance: The high-quality fiber is used as the raw material, and the surface of the screen is specially treated to withstand high pressure and multiple frictions. Therefore, the screen has high safety and printing resistance.

More about screen printing mesh size:

Different mesh sizes are used for different applications in the screen printing process. Screen printing Mesh size is measured by how many threads of mesh there are crossing per square inch. For instance, a 110 mesh screen has 110 threads crossing per square inch. The higher the mesh count, the finer the threads and holes are in the screen. The size of the screen printing mesh has a lot to do with how detailed your image is and how thick the ink you are using is. If you have an image with extremely high detail, a lower mesh screen wont hold the high detail. The fine lines or dots in the image will simply fall through the holes in the mesh not giving you a correct representation of what your image should be. Also if you are using a thinner screen printing ink, the ink will also flood through the larger holes and soak onto your shirt or substrate making your image blurry as the ink bleeds. On the other hand, if you are trying to print a thicker ink (such as white, blue) through to high of a mesh screen, barely any ink will print through the mesh. You will notice that different companies have different sizes available. If the mesh count is fairly close, such as the difference between 155 vs. 156, 196 vs. 200, or 81 vs. 86, the difference is so negligible and small that it will not matter in your final results. Since there are many variables involved in silk screen printing we can’t tell you exactly what mesh sizes are used for what applications. However we can give you a general outline of what sizes to use for certain types of printing.

Exposure Notes:

Different mesh sizes hold different amounts of emulsion, due to how big the holes in the mesh are. For instance a 110 mesh screen will hold much more emulsion than a 305 mesh screen. While the difference isn’t extreme, you will have to vary your exposure times slightly for different mesh sizes. A finer mesh screen that holds less emulsion will expose faster than a lower mesh screen that holds more emulsion. However, the difference is small so you may have to only vary as slightly as 5-10% in either direction and depending on mesh size in order to get maximum exposure performance.
