I use 110s mostly for spot colors on fleece. Not so much on tees. Again, it depends on what you are printing. Most of what I do is sim process and most the white screens are 230s, 280s and even 305s on ocassion.

I like a few others I use 110's for my spot colors and where the hand is not that important of a deal, but on sim and process I use 156 and higher.  Oh I been using Blue moons squeegee angles of 30 degree and I've been getting very good prints on pass now and that angle also helps mat down those pesky fibers on the shirts.

I use 110's for a lot of spot colors on white.  I like not being able to see through the shirt when you hold it up to the light.  I think they wash better too.

Is that 30 degrees if standing up is zero?  Technically that would be 90, since it is perpendicular to the mesh and substrate.  Just want to make sure I am reading that right.

for us, it's 30 degrees from vertical. Sort of like this /

As far as 110's, we use them all the time. After listening to Alan and trying out what he was talking about, I am a convert. Well, not quite to 83's and 6 coats, but we now use the full range of the screens we have 110 to 330.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I feel a lot better about using the 110's now!
