THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
The screen is the core of screen printing, and its mesh is key to the print. Nowadays, synthetic fibres (polyester or nylon) and monofilaments are the most commonly used materials. They offer clear advantages due to their low thickness, high strength and stability, which will give you very uniform results.
The combination of these 2 parameters defines the different meshes. The higher the mesh count, the lighter the density. Mesh density determines the size of the openings, so the higher the density, the smaller the opening.
At Brildor, we classify the mesh using the number of threads per linear cm, with the letter P in front, indicating that it’s made of polyester.
If you're used to other parameters to classify your screens, this conversion chart will help you find the frame you’re looking for:
