When it comes to mesh screen printing, achieving fine details can be a challenge. Lower mesh counts, like 110, may be easier to work with and deposit more ink, but they fall short when it comes to printing intricate designs. That's where choosing the right mesh comes in. At Hebei Maishi Wire Mesh Manufacture Group, we understand the importance of selecting the appropriate mesh for your printing application.
The commonly used 110 mesh count often struggles to retain emulsion in finely detailed areas, resulting in jagged edges and less-than-desirable prints. Additionally, white mesh, which is often used with 110 counts, scatters light in the exposure unit during artwork burning, compromising detail rendering. To overcome these challenges, higher mesh counts like 195 or 230 are recommended.
Mesh counts of 200 and above are typically dyed yellow to minimize light scattering. This allows for better rendering of fine detail and halftones, as stray light is absorbed rather than bounced around. However, working with higher mesh counts presents its own set of considerations.
Here are some key points to remember when working with higher mesh counts, including dyed mesh:
·Increased exposure time is required for dyed mesh.
·Proper screen preparation is crucial to avoid pinholes and premature stencil wear.
·Thinner stencils required for fine detail may wear more quickly over longer print runs.
·Higher mesh counts hold less emulsion, making them more prone to damage from strong adhesives.
·Specific halftones must be created for the chosen mesh count to avoid moiré patterns.
·Higher mesh counts may incur additional costs.
·Stretching higher mesh counts can be more challenging.
By choosing the appropriate mesh for your artwork, you can simplify the process of achieving your desired print quality. Trust Hebei Maishi Wire Mesh Manufacture Group to provide high-quality mesh options that meet your mesh screen printing needs.
