S mesh here all the way, would never go back. Its that good.
When you use a 180 S and pop what squeegees are you using?
Thanks to all who commented on Murakami S Mesh. There are many differences between Murakami S Mesh and all others listed. The manufacturing process and heat setting is part of the magic of this product. The thread is unique as is the heat setting of the knuckles to maintain square openings. The true test: Seeing is believing. Hey I was a printer that used all Murakami emulsion and mesh when I did production and we didn't have S mesh back then. So check out this video from a few years back when we started marketing the S mesh. This is un modified white, we switched ink manufacturers every day of the ISS Long Beach show to answer the question "what ink is that?" the opacity comes from the mesh print quality, not the ink. I was blown away by the opacity of this print with almost no squeegee pressure. Touch the pallet and pull the squeegee! Nice to have met so many from the t-shirt boards at the ISS show. Special Shout out to Pierre for the great samples he dropped off. And to Danny for testing most of our emulsions and helping us dial in CTS. Gifts are on their way!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFShG5cWeGY&feature=plcpAt the end of the video and credits you will find the real reason to come to California for the Long Beach ISS show.Al
I'm having trouble getting S Mesh, I hear that Dynamesh (NBC) have a similar product, does anyone know which of their series compares to S Mesh?They have a few different Meshes, UX etc.

Its that good.You know a lot of people say this (including us)... yet why hasn't everyone on here switched?It's certainly a LOT cheaper than a DTS, but not even all of those guys are using S Mesh. Guess there are no tape savings.
I am slowly converting everything in my shop to murakami S thread. The benefits I have seen from their mesh are one of the biggest advancements I have come across. Our std squeegee pressure used to be around 40 psi using standard thread screens, now we are printing with less then 25 lbs as our std pressure. Besides special FX screens I could see us using 3 mesh counts for everything we do - 150/48, 225/40, and 305/34(murakami on all mesh) which is the direction I have been going down. I think for base plates, waterbase ink, and solid big coverage areas that the 150/48 can be a std style mesh. The reason I have not switched 100% yet is only because myself and my guys have been getting used to the difference of s mesh, how to handle it, etc....... 2 years ago I made 80 screens with s mesh and within 4 weeks I was down to around 10 screens. About 8 weeks ago I made a batch of 50 s mesh screens and so far I have only lost 1. It has taken all of us here a while to understand the difference of care with the s mesh but now that we are handling it much better we will not be looking back. Murakami s thread to me is the best advancement I have experienced in my opinion.
We have a lot of orders we print in white, double stroke, no flash.At the moment we use a 110 for these. We the S type 130 or 150 have enough coverage?
