Silkscreen printing mesh or silk screen printing fabrics are
weaving by polyester (PET) or nylon (PA) monofilament, usually in
plain weave. Different mesh count from 10-500mesh to meet different
screen printing requirements. It’s the cloth fabric who transfer
the ink onto the printed objects in designed shape.
screen printing mesh
The main technical parameters of silk screen printing mesh are as
follows:
Mesh Count
Mesh Count of the Silk Screen Printing Mesh fabric refers to how
many holes per inch, the measuring unit is mesh/inch. The Mesh
Count tells the density between the adjacent two yarns. The higher
mesh count, the higher density, the finer mesh opening, and lower
deposit ink volume, on the other hand, the lower mesh count, the
lower density, the bigger mesh opening, and higher deposit ink
volume. Mesh count chose should be according to the printing
precision of the printed objects.
Thread Diameter
The thread (yarn) diameter is the diameter of the monofilament yarn
who weaving the silk screen printing mesh. Usually measured by um.
The thinner thread diameter, the larger mesh opening, but the worse
corrosion resistance against corrosive solvents, and the worse wear
resistance of the ink and squeegee. Thicker thread diameter
increases the print durability of the screen printing mesh.
Thickness
The thickness of the Silk Screen Printing Mesh refers to the
distance between the two surfaces of the mesh. Normally measured by
mm or um. The thickness value should be measured when mesh still
without tension, it depends on the yarn diameter and weaving type
and related to the deposit ink volume.
Mesh opening (Aperture)
Mesh opening of Silk Screen Printing Mesh is the parameter to show
the width of each square hole on the fabric. It makes great impact
on the printing precision of the printed images and characters.
Measure unit is mm or um. Usually, the mesh opening should be three
times of solid ink particles.
Open area
Open area or effective filtering area, or hole area percentage,
refers to the percentage of hole area in a unit area of the screen
mesh. Measure unit is %.
Theoretical ink volume
The theoretical ink volume is the maximum ink volume required to
fill the opening of the screen. It’s measured in cubic centimeters
per square meter (cm3/m2). The theoretical ink volume just to
estimate the ink consumption simply, the actual ink consumption and
ink thickness, should be calculated based on the print medium and
ink conditions.
The percentage of solvent diluent, specific gravity, solid content, viscosity, and screen mesh weave type, screen type, squeegee hardness, squeegee shape, printing pressure, and angle, mesh opening size, screen tension, printing machine type, etc. all will affect the ink volume consumption.
