Advantages for Thick Ink Applications
Thick inks (e.g., plastisol, ceramic pastes, conductive inks) require a mesh that can handle high viscosity without clogging. Our 180 mesh with 50 micron openings provides the perfect balance: enough open area to deposit thick ink layers, yet fine enough to maintain print definition. The 20 N/cm tension ensures the mesh stays taut, reducing stencil deformation and improving edge sharpness. Additionally, the PET monofilament resists solvents and abrasion, extending the life of your screens. Whether you are printing on dark substrates or creating raised textures, this mesh delivers consistent opacity and thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between 180 mesh and other mesh counts for thick ink?
A: 180 mesh (50 micron) offers a larger aperture compared to finer meshes (e.g., 200+), allowing thicker inks to pass through while still providing good detail. For very heavy ink deposits, you may consider 120–150 mesh; for finer lines, 200–230 mesh is recommended. -
Q: Can I get this mesh in different widths?
A: Yes, we offer custom widths from 1m to 3.2m. Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: Is the tension pre-stretched or adjustable?
A: The mesh is supplied with a controlled tension of 20 N/cm. For use in retensionable frames, further tensioning is possible, but we recommend verifying compatibility with your frame system. -
Q: What is the maximum temperature for this mesh?
A: PET monofilament can withstand temperatures up to approximately 150°C (302°F) for short periods. For high-heat curing processes, consider using a lower mesh count or a heat-resistant alternative. -
Q: How long is the roll length?
A: Standard roll length is 30m or 50m, but we can customize based on your order quantity. Minimum order quantity is negotiable. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (customer pays shipping) for qualified buyers. Please contact our sales team to arrange a sample. -
Q: Is this mesh suitable for water-based inks?
A: While PET is compatible with most water-based inks, we recommend testing for your specific ink formulation. For aggressive solvents, PET offers good resistance, but always verify with a small trial. -
Q: What packaging do you use?
A: Each roll is wrapped in protective film and packed in a sturdy carton or wooden pallet for export, ensuring safe transit.
