Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I doubt you are offering LX. It is a Murakami Trade Mark Mesh Brand. LX Mesh is another alternative. It is a proprietary thread that is soft on the outside with a poly core that is similar to S Mesh. It's advantage is in printing base plates and wb ink. It is a softer mesh. Minimal off contact is needed since it is a little softer thread. The RZ or smoothness of the mesh is better than S mesh since the knuckles are welded more and requires less squeegee pressure to print. Thick plastisols print a bit easier through this mesh. Round off squeegee corners and sand glass smooth with this mesh to prevent excess wear where that squeegee starts.The type of stretcher has everything to do with thread orientation on a frame. A typical bar stretcher, or individual clamp method can distort the thread orientation and create distorted parallelogram openings on the outer points of a 9 point tension area. Murakami Statics by Murakami are stretched on a proprietary Murakami Stretcher that we make ourselves and is designed for very accurate frame to mesh orientation. It captures mesh very square to the frame, but more importantly pulls mesh in both directions and at all points in 90 degree angles to the frame to keep threads straight on all 8 frames in the rack, bar stretchers and individual clamp systems do not do this. This also allows us to use metal guides to angle the frames and stretch at 22, 45 or 61 degrees to the mesh very accurately for half tone graphics and high end automotive printing.The final key point is the mesh opening itself. There is a measurement of mesh called the stress strain curve. This graph shows how threads react to the forces of stretching. If the threads in both the warp and weft direction react equally and are in balance to the forces of stretching the mesh opening has a better chance of staying square when stretched and registration is improved on sim process type printing. Murakami Stress Strain curves are identical, both the warp and weft react exactly the same to the squeegee force, no other mesh manufacturer can claim this. This is the case with all Murakami mesh. Threads and heat sealing of the mesh knuckle are designed to produce accurate square openings in equal microns measurements in both directions. This aids in preventing spot moire, aids in registration. Thread thickness can also affect moire. Thicker threads are more prone to moire, thinner threads have more open area and capture more halftone data.Al
