Selecting Your Mesh Count

General Tip: Lower Mesh = More ink, less detail // Higher Mesh = More detail, less ink

  • 60-90 Mesh - Most commonly used for thick specialty plastisol inks, such as metallics, shimmers, reflectives, puffs, etc.
  • 110 Mesh - Most common mesh count for printing with white plastisol ink. Not recommended for water base inks.
  • 160 Mesh - Our most popular mesh count. Works well with a wide variety of ink types and substrates.
  • 200-230 Mesh - Most commonly used for high detail artwork. Also great for printing with water based inks on wood or paper.
  • 280-305 Mesh - Used for super fine detail artwork, half tones, CMYK process printing, as well as solvent and water base inks.

Keep In Mind

There is no "exact" mesh count to use in any situation, often times you can get very similar results using a range of different mesh counts. Screen printing is a craft, and experimentation is key to finding what works best for you. When in doubt, just stick with a middle of the road mesh count like a 160 and you should be just fine.
