Higher mesh screens of 200 mesh and above are most commonly used for finer images and thinner inks

Higher  mesh screens of 200 mesh and above are most commonly used for finer images and  thinner inks. Graphics, discharge and water-based inks should be silk screen printing with this  mesh size. A higher grid count helps prevent thinner ink from spilling onto  your substrate. If you want your plastisol prints to have a softer feel, these  higher mesh counts can also help. Printing thicker ink through a finer  mesh can reduce the deposition of a large amount of ink, thereby forming a  thinner "plate" ink. The result is that the printed matter feels  softer. Although your plastisol prints may feel softer, you may sacrifice the  opacity of the ink by using a higher mesh count. If your design is designed to  have very bright, vivid colors, pay attention to how much ink your screen lets  you print.
