Mesh Terminology
ie 43T/S/HD/UV
S: A thinner thread diameter,
so more ink is applied to the substrate. Ideal for opaque printing to textiles.
T: Standard mesh thread diameter
used for most printing jobs.
HD: Heavy duty mesh thread diameter
used for where the mesh may be
subject to excessive wear from sharp
objects or abrasive ink.
HT: High Tension
This mesh can be streched ta an extra high tension
(30 newtons or more)
And once streched remains most stable on the screen.
Used for where critical registration is needed.
i.e. Circuit Boards ect..
U.V.: A mesh that has been developed for U.V. Printing
where a very thin ink deposit is required.
One side calendered. (Flattened)
Giving less mesh thickness.
Y: Coloured Mesh
Orange-yellow, cuts down light distortion
when using a direct stencil, (Emulsions)
especially where fine detail & halftones are being printed
Stops the light filtering down the mesh fibre,
Increase exposure time 100% to compensate.
Grit Gauze
A very course mesh, used when a heavy
ink deposit is required,
or for printing Glitter inks, Towels ect.. Coat wooden handles with a varnish, if continuously in contact with water.
