Can I get by using a 124 mesh on gofl towels?
« on: April 17, 2012, 09:39:11 AM »
I will be using Union water based ink...I have been told to use a 86 to 100 mesh. But I have 2 23 x 31 frames that have a 124 mesh. My plan is to burn the screen with two identical images so I can print two golf towels at a time. I have 1,200 to do and this will cut my time in half.

Will 124 mesh get the job done?

YOU STILL HAVE TO LOAD 2 TOWELS NOT ONE. and you may have to doulble stroke due to image size running 2. I dont get how this will cut your time in half? 123 mesh will work just fine as long as its not too tight. a slightly looser screen is going to give you much better saturation with waterbase on towels.

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!
