Screenprinting: Learn How To Screen Print Tee Shirts At Home
This is a remake video about tips and advice on choosing your mesh count for screen printing textiles with plastisol inks. In this video we run through an array of mesh counts that I personally keep on hand in my shop for everyday work. You'll get to hear some facts about mesh counts and emulsion thickness, ink flow, tightness and more. This video should give you a basic understanding of the different mesh counts and their characteristics. Learn about mesh counts like 110, 156, 200, 230, and 305 or 355. Get tips on what type of artwork will work best with the different mesh counts. The video also shows bulk pieces of mesh along with pre-stretched static aluminum screens.

If the ink is thinner then a higher mesh count may work. But a plastisol ink we might use a 110 or 125 mesh. It can vary depending on exactly what you are printing. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@blocka222 7 лет назад

Awesome video ! ive always wanted to kno this part of the screen mesh selecting!

@CatspitProductions 10 лет назад

@Jose Ruacho, Typically higher mesh counts tend to be dyed mesh so they may be yellow or amber/orange. I have never seen a 230 that was white. Thanks for watching!

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Oh I don’t really know without looking at your artwork but for a relatively simple duotone I would want to run it as a 45 lpi on a 200 or 230 mesh. Depending on the white printer you may be able to a spot and dot with it on a more open mesh count with a bigger dot. Thanks much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

Nice job Jonathan, how anyone can dislike useful information is crazy. I picked up some 156 screens the other day and they were yellow, I ask the supplier if this would affect my burn time, no they said it should stay the same. Well it didn't and after researching (something I should have done anyway) I found that the yellow would indeed increase the time to burn the screen. In my case it was 25% longer. I say all that because you mentioned the longer time for the yellow screens.

Hi. I like your video and clear explanation of issue. I am graphic designer and a print screen technology is new for me. I would like to ask for advise. Can y give me advise? I would like to know when i do creating halftones CMYK in Photoshop for printing on foil,what the frequency i should put into setting column? For example I do set up for halftone: C-45, M-75, Y-0, K-15 then I putt settings: Halftone, Shape- round, Frequency -? Here I do not understand haw I should calculate Frequency ? Because I need make calculations according what number of mesh I use. For example for Mesh 110 frequency -? For Mesh 125,200 and so on frequency -? Haw i should calculate it? Thank y

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

I really can’t say specifically what mesh count I would use without seeing the artwork. Generally we use higher mesh counts for more detailed work and lower mesh counts for less detailed work. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

I dont wont to print everything white und afterwards print everything black again if the art ist mainly dark. Main problem is the art whithout a RIP machine.

hello mr. catspit ... thanks for the video! When printing halftones with the 200 mesh, does the shading in the artwork need to be altered to halftone before making the film or will the halftone created by the film be ok ? should the film be run at 45lpi frequency?

@AuthorDiCristofano 8 лет назад

Thanks for the informative video. My only gripe, and it's a small one, is that it would have been nice to see visual examples of products for each type of mesh.

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

+Joseph DiCristofano You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm not sure what you mean by that. The camera will not pick up the way the mesh looks from count to count. And showing print examples wouldn't show much either. I mean there is a visual difference between the print of a low mesh count versus a very high one but we could only see the extreme end of either one. So visual aides in this case really would not have shown you much more if anything at all. I would have needed a magnifying camera to show mesh counts up close. Thanks for watching.

I want to get into silkscreening. I've taken a class in it previously, but I want to do it as a side business. I'm an artist who draws various scenes in nyc (buildings,etc) I plan to make silkscreened prints of these drawings. For these drawings, what kind of mesh count would you recommend? Would I need about a 200 count for what I plan to do? I want to replicate the crisp details of my sketches.

@esstev 7 лет назад

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Yes, with the correct set up you could ink it and print it with an oversized squeegee. You’ll need an air dry ink that bonds to PVC. Maybe a vinyl ink but I would check with an ink vendor for technical assistance on that. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

I'm working on some designs for resistant dying. I plan to pass glue through the mesh, which count would be the best for that. The glue is a thick clear glue.

@zakuma22 8 лет назад

How about when using heavy body or soft body acrylics instead? Sorry if it might sound stupid, but I am really new to this. Thanks

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

The tips would be the same. You're going to choose the mesh count based on the artwork and the thickness of the ink combined. The thickness and or particulate size of the ink is more important then what brand or type of ink you are using. Meaning you have to look at the ink and decide what screen mesh it would print best with. Of course considering the artwork as well. Thanks for watching.

@CatspitProductions 7 лет назад

That was a 110 or 125 mesh screen. But you may have to enlarge the letters in order for them to print well. It depends on the font. Or try a higher mesh count so you print less ink. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

@CatspitProductions 9 лет назад

Well I don’t know for sure. That is strange. It could be you need to abrade the mesh. Use a mesh abrader to rough the thread fibers some so the emulsion has something to bite onto.

Dear sir, Which mesh count should I use for a multicolor flock print?

@CatspitProductions 5 лет назад

I really wouldn't know. I would get instructions from whoever makes the product you're using. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

What can you say about 120mesh? is it advisable to use that for designs with typography?

@CatspitProductions 10 лет назад

It all depends on how small the lines are. The font detail and font size will all affect your choice of mesh in that matter. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! www.catspitproductionsllc.com/ - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

Is 110 mesh good for letting, and what size of letting

@CatspitProductions 5 лет назад

110 mesh is good for low detail lettering. Larger block type lettering will be the easiest to render on a 110 but you might get lines down to 1 or 2 points perhaps with a good emulsion. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

I'm a little confused. I want to print a VERY detailed white design (monochromatic) on a black shirt, do I want the colored mesh and low mesh count? (detail and opaque white)

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

+Patrick Mahloy Then use a 200 mesh or above which will be yellow mesh. You cannot have the best of both worlds. At lower mesh counts the mesh is white because it will not matter being yellow at such a low mesh count. You can only achieve so much detail on lower mesh counts even if they were yellow. Sometimes you can find 160 mesh in yellow. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

how long will I have to expose a screen with 305 mesh count under a light box?

@CatspitProductions 7 лет назад

I have a video about this. There are too many variables for me to say with any accuracy. Check out my videos for one called "what is the exposure time." Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

hmm, ez screen print is a company that sells pre emulsion sheets, what kind of mesh, they use?

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

I have no clue what mesh count that product would use. I have never used or even seen it first hand. You would have to ask them. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
