Tips for choosing right screen for silkscreen printing First of all, consider how easy it is for the ink to pass through the screen.   For intermediate tones, use inks with high transparency, fine pigment particles, and a higher ratio of pigment carriers. The ink has good permeability. It can pass well when using a high-mesh count screen.   Generally, plastic inks have good permeability. Special-purpose inks and inks with high pigment concentrations have poor permeability despite being fine particles.   If the surface of the substrate is rough, you can use a screen with lower mesh count. For example, when talking about substrate like leather, canvas, foam sheet, wood, etc., the surface is rough, and the ink absorption is strong, a screen with lower mesh count should be used to ensure sufficient ink passing through.   Choose the screen according to the fineness of the lines of the original image. In general, choose high-mesh count for fine lines.   When choosing screen, you must also think about the cost. Under the premise of meeting the printing requirements, try to choose a lower-priced screen. www.jrpanel.com #membraneswitch #graphicoverlay #silkscreen #printing #screen
