Thanks Zoo, an excellent read. I've been a proponent of thin threads for a long time. Years ago my old shop printed a job with bold type and fine lines, white ink on red 50/50
with a single hit. The fabric was a multi-filament, 4XX, which was about as coarse as you could get, but, really thin threads, so a lot of open area. The ability of the mesh to hold fine detail is what got me thinking about it. If I looked at the 86 monofiliment through a loupe, the threads looked like oil pipelines compared to the multi-filament. It took a long time to find a monofilament that would do that. Of course, you do use an awful lot of ink, but it was in the pre-flash days. Now of course, it's PFP for that stuff, but the lesson learned about thread diameter was very educational.
