  • Print up to 355 mesh with no problem.

Tips for application, printing, and curing:

  • White is ready to use or it may used as an underbase and highlight white. Print using 125-160 mesh.
  • Grey Base is an underbase designed to help stop dye migration.
  • Always use waterbase mode on your automatic printer and it is important to flood after printing.
  • Spray a mist of water onto the ink to help prevent drying in the screen.
  • To lay down a higher deposit of ink, use a lower mesh count.

  • DO NOT STRETCH GARMENT WHILE HOT

Screen Printing Q & A

Choosing the right mesh count depends on your design details and the type of ink you're printing with. Here’s a quick guide:

  • 110 Mesh Screens – Ideal for bold prints, heavy coverage, and printing with white plastisol ink. Perfect for hoodies, darker garments, or underbases where opacity matters most.
  • 155 to 200 Mesh Screens – These are your go-to choices for everyday printing, offering a balance of detail and ink flow. Works great with both plastisol and water-based inks.
  • 230 to 305 Mesh Screens – Best suited for high-detail designs, halftones, and thinner inks like discharge or water-based ink. Great for achieving clean lines and minimal ink deposit.
