Our 18x20 screens have a 10"x12" max image area. Recommended for DIY printers not using a press and not needing oversize prints.  

Multiple images can be burned on a screen as long as they all fit within the 10”x12” max image area.

All our screens come stretched on heavy duty aluminum frames, and are carefully packaged to ensure a safe arrival. Simply open your box, tape up the edges, and get printing.

Final film output/screen size may vary by 1/8".

Mesh Counts

  • 110 Mesh - Most common mesh count for printing with white plastisol ink. Not recommended for water based inks.
  • 160 Mesh - Our most popular mesh count. Works well with a wide variety of ink types and substrates.
  • 230 Mesh - Most commonly used for high detail artwork. Also great for printing on paper or sanded wood.

In general, a lower mesh count will lay down a thicker layer of ink and hold less detail. A finer or higher mesh count will lay down a thinner layer of ink and hold more fine detail.

Emulsion Types

  • TX-D (pink) emulsion holds up extremely well to plastisol, water based and discharge inks.
  • HXT (blue) emulsion is recommended for printing with solvent, enamel or uv inks.

Adding hardener makes the emulsion extremely durable and difficult to reclaim.
