What`s the rate for S-Mesh in the States? We pay around $350 for a 50m roll 136 cm wide. That`s for the 150-S.

pretty sure I pay double that...

width is 62" though

$14.2 per yard 150s
$23.65 per yard 225S

I don't know what the cost would be when buying a whole roll though.

Yeeeah, there's no reason for you to look for any other mesh then! Stay Murakami!

I bought a lot of Roller Mesh, that stuff is so expensive but the tension levels are incredible. If I can get the Smartmesh even if it is only the 150-T to anything close to 35N then I will make the switch.

With being in Japan and your price on Murakami S mesh being so cheap I would just stick with that.

Less chance for moire, less pressure, save on ink, btw you don't need the tensions of Roller Mesh / standard T mesh.  S mesh is so much nicer than T.  I hate sometimes having to play with the print settings with T mesh, S mesh I know what it all needs to be at and it is versatile and forgiving a bit.
