This is a quick and very casual video about a question I get very often. Many people have a hard time choosing their mesh count for screen printing tee shirts. They frequently ask a general question about mesh count that goes something like this: “What is the best mesh count?” Sometimes they may explain some details about their print job but most do not. What they are looking for is a universal mesh count. One mesh count that is the “best” for everything. Well there really is no such thing. Meaning we cannot simply blanket all print jobs with the same mesh count screen. Well I have to admit I have seen shops use only 1 mesh count like a 160. However, they are missing out on all the benefits of having different mesh counts. This video briefly explains how I would answer this question for both plastisol and water based inks.

Jonathan, I want to personally thank you for teaching me how to screen print. I have been printing for about 6 years and basically learned most of what I know from watching your videos, along with trial and error. If I'm ever in Phoenix I will stop by to say "Thank You" in person. It may have been lucky timing, I was having difficulty with a particular technique (I think it was printing hoodies and dealing with fibrillation) and you had just posted a video dealing with the issue I was having. After watching that video I was able to successfully complete the run. You saved the day! When someone asks about learning screenprinting the first place I send them is your channel. You should know that your channel is the first one recommended on many screenprinting forums, for good reason. Your videos are concise and very well done. I've always liked your style from the early videos til now. Over the years your production quality has increased yet you still maintain the same down to earth attitude. You are an excellent teacher and your passion for teaching comes through every time. Again, Thank You!

Thank you very much. I appreciate the very kind sentiments here. And compliments. I truly appreciate that. You're welcome. I enjoy teaching and I'm very happy selling equipment and supplies allows me to make these RU-vid videos for everyone to learn from. It can be hard work at times and sometimes I fell like I have nothing left to say but I always have questions and comments from viewers to get ideas from as well. It's been 10 years this year posting videos consistently every month. Sometimes multiple videos each week. There's a lot of "new kids" on the block and a few "copy Cats" ;) But I seem to manage to hang in there... lol. Again you're very welcome. Let me know if I can be of assistance anytime.

Hi. Just recently started getting interested in screenprinting and have seen a few of your videos so far and enjoyed them. There is one thing though and it's not really related to screen printing but it has peaked my curiosity and I would like to know if it was by choice or just happened. Your catspit logo, the one with the cat with the fish skeletons around it. Was there a reason you had the top, left and right one going counterclockwise and the bottom one going clockwise? As I said just curious. And again, enjoy your videos greatly and will be checking out some of your older ones and newer ones. Thank you.

@CatspitProductions 5 лет назад

Glad you're enjoying my video work. 2 fish represent a chase and 2 a connection. That one's personal ;) I'm happy to know you're checking out both new and old videos. I have 10 years worth. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Probably an odd question but can you do a multi color design on 4 of the same mesh count screens

@CatspitProductions 4 года назад

Yes. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@fayzanmirza5221 4 года назад

Thanks for the informative video. What will happen if you use a high mesh count on a design that could do a bit less? I want to be safe and buy a screen with high mesh count (160-230) so it can cover all design with plastisol

@CatspitProductions 4 года назад

Using 1 mesh count for all your print jobs leaves you at a disadvantage. Mesh count is chosen specifically for the art and secondarily for the ink. Meaning you do not want to push high opacity white ink through a 160 mesh unless you really need to. Because plastisol inks are thicker, we tend to use the lowest mesh count possible that we can render the design on. With water based inks, which tend to be thinner, we can use higher mesh counts in general. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@anzaeria 4 года назад

I'm planning to use plastisol inks so I guess somewhere in the range of 110 - 160 should be fine. Though my artwork consists of basic shapes with no detail so which particular mesh count would be better for my needs? To be precise, it's a black silhouette of a kangaroo against a sunset.

@CatspitProductions 4 года назад

It's really hard for me to say without seeing the artwork. If there are any smaller fine lines or text, a 160 might do the trick. But if it's larger shapes and lines a 135 may be just fine. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

I am Karan from India. I really enjoy your vedio. it is very helpful for everyone. I hope you will solve my problem. I want to know that How much thread's per inch are in 200 mesh count and what is the number of mesh of 200

@CatspitProductions 4 года назад

I'm glad you enjoy my videos. A 200 mesh count has 200 threads per inch. Thread diameter can vary depending on the manufacturer. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@kingofthedudeadamindibi1894 2 года назад

Mesh count depends on alot of things Image Ink garment you printing on How many colours goes on top of the base You can't use to low mesh for halftone base doesn't matter what ink you use details It will be washed off

@CatspitProductions 2 года назад

Yup, that's what the video basically says. There is no "best" mesh count for screen printing. Depends on the print job itself. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
