Thicker inks, like white plastisol ink, should be printed through low mesh counts. Thin ink will flood through larger holes in low mesh count screens, blurring the image. Thinner ink, like water-based ink, should also be printed through a high mesh count. Those fine dots of detail will fall through the holes in low mesh count screens. Images with high detail should use screens with a higher mesh count. The mesh count screen printers use changes depending on the level of detail in a design and the thickness of ink used. The higher the mesh count, the finer the threads and holes are in the screen. A 110 mesh, for example, has 110 threads crossing per square inch. Mesh size is measured by how many threads of mesh cross per square inch. MESH SIZEĭifferent mesh sizes are used for different applications in the screen printing process. Aluminum frames are also lightweight, making shipping less expensive and saving money in the long run. Once cleaned, the frames can be re-stretched. The mesh and glue are simply removed from the frame using a professional tool that won’t damage the frame. This ensures a flat frame for thousands of prints.Īluminum frames can also be re-stretched many times. Unlike wood frames, aluminum frames will not warp when exposed to water. ALUMINUM FRAMESĪluminum screen printing frames are durable and have increased longevity. Screens are stretched pneumatically to industry standards using high-grade monofilament poly mesh and held using cyanoacrylate glue. The frames are sandblasted to ensure proper bonding and tension for thousands of prints. All aluminum frames use the highest grade aluminum and are cut and welded in the USA. provides high-quality aluminum pre-stretched screens in various sizes and mesh counts.
