When it comes to selecting the proper mesh count for a project, understanding the basics is essential. Mesh count refers to the number of threads per inch on a screen. A higher mesh count means more threads per inch, resulting in a finer and more detailed print. On the other hand, a lower mesh count allows more ink to pass through, making it suitable for bolder designs.

For projects that require intricate details or small text, a higher mesh count, such as 200-300, would be ideal. This finer mesh count ensures that the details are accurately captured in the print. On the contrary, projects that involve solid blocks of color or larger designs might benefit from a lower mesh count, around 80-110, to allow for better ink flow and coverage.

One important factor to consider when choosing a mesh count is the type of ink being used. Thicker inks require a lower mesh count to pass through easily, while thinner inks work better with higher mesh counts. Additionally, the material of the substrate plays a role in determining the appropriate mesh count. Rough surfaces may require a lower mesh count to ensure proper ink deposition, while smooth surfaces can accommodate higher mesh counts for detailed prints.

Another consideration is the color of the fabric or material being printed on. Light-colored fabrics typically require a higher mesh count to prevent ink bleed, whereas dark-colored fabrics may benefit from a lower mesh count to achieve better opacity. It’s essential to test different mesh counts on sample prints to determine the most suitable option for each project.
