Printing mesh theory ink volume and mesh

The theoretical ink volume is the maximum  ink volume required to fill the opening of the screen. It’s measured in cubic centimeters per  square meter (cm3/m2). The theoretical ink volume just to estimate the ink consumption  simply, the actual ink consumption and ink thickness, should be calculated  based on the print medium and ink conditions.
 The percentage of solvent diluent, specific  gravity, solid content, viscosity, and silk screen mesh weave type,  screen type, squeegee hardness, squeegee shape, printing pressure, and angle,  mesh opening size, screen tension, printing machine type, etc. all will affect  the ink volume consumption.
 Mesh opening of Silk Screen Printing  Mesh is the parameter to show the width of each square hole on the fabric.  It makes great impact on the printing precision of the printed images and  characters. Measure unit is mm or um. Usually, the mesh opening should be three  times of solid ink particles.
