Polyester Screen Printing Mesh

Basic Information about Polyester Screen  Printing Mesh, Weaving, Uses, How to Choose Mesh Counts and Weaving Types  of Polyester Mesh for Silk Screen Printing, also Introduction of  the Screen Printing Technology
 Polyester screen for printing is a Plain  Woven mesh bolting cloth made with polyester monofilament yarn. PW, the  simplified term of Plain Weaving, is the popular processing for polyester mesh.  PW will be marked on most polyester mesh products labels while sometimes  TW(twilled weave) will be found for much micron or stronger fabrics. However TW  polyester fabric will somewhat delay the ink flow according to certain reports.  Polyester mesh printing screen is one of the most advanced high-tech fabric  products started in 1990s for screen printing. polyester and nylon screen  products can work easily with all types of printing machines.
 About Screen Printing:
 It is a technique achieved through the  screening processing of polyester fabric. Screen printing is a modern printing  method popular for making T-shirts and other garments, but also widely used for  Textile Printing, Ceramic Printing, Glass Printing, Graphics Printing,  Electronic Printing, CD/DVD Printing, Wood printing, Metal printing, Plastic  and leather printing.
 Characteristics of Silk Screen Printing Mesh:
 · optimized mesh geometry
 · balanced, low elongation
 · strength for larger formats
 · modest loss of tension
 There are two factors may influence the  printing results: One is the weaving type of the print mesh screen, the other  is the mesh count.
 Weave Types of the Polyester Print Screen  Will Effect Printing Result:
 The most common weaving pattern in screen  printing mesh is called "plain weave" and will be designated on  labels as "PW." It is a simple over-and-under weaving pattern.  "Twill weave (TW)" is used to create thicker, sturdier screens and  relies on complex patterns of weaving, which vary depending on the  manufacturer. Twill weave mesh will be thicker than plain weave even if the  mesh count is identical. The Screen Printing Technical Foundation compared the  different weave's performance and found that twill weave transferred somewhat  less ink than plain weave.
 Common Mesh count applied for the printing  screen: DPP8T - DPP180T
 Color : Yellow & White
 Fabric Width : 110cm - 365cm
 How to Choose Mesh Count for Your Polyester  Printing Screen (Bolting Cloth) and Its Influence on Silk Screen Printing Mesh  Fabric:
 A selection of mesh is typically organized  by "mesh count," or the number of threads per square inch, such as  110, 180 and 240. The lower the number is, the larger the openings are that the  ink will be pressed through onto your fabric; a higher number means more  threads per inch and smaller openings that allow less ink to transfer. If the  stencil has a lot of detail and small or narrow portions of the mesh are  covered, then a high mesh count screen is appropriate. Larger openings will let  in too much ink and potentially muddle the edges and details of the image.
