Screen Printing Mesh Types

Screen printing mesh is a type of material used in the process of screen printing. It is used to transfer ink or paint onto a substrate, such as fabric, paper, or plastic. The mesh is usually made of polyester, nylon, or stainless steel and is available in a variety of sizes and different mesh counts.

The most common types of screen printing mesh are plain weave, satin weave, and twill weave. Plain weave is the most commonly used type of mesh and is best used for printing on paper and other substrates with a consistent surface. 

For us screen printers, we will be working with plain weave polyester mesh. But no matter what type of mesh count you choose, it is important to ensure that the mesh is properly stretched and tensioned. This will help ensure that the ink or paint is transferred evenly across the substrate and that the image is sharp and clear.
