Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
but isn't that why we can use s-mesh?Lower tensions, yet they allow for that greater range of ink deposit?
jaVanick, "Tunnel affect"? Can you elaborate?

Can you elaborate?the total thickness of the emulsion and mesh is what creates the amount of ink deposit. a thicker thread will build a thicker overall stencil. the thinner thread diameter helps the ink release better from the screen, but the 'tunnel' created by the stencil (when properly filled/not smashed) is what actually is controlling your ink deposit.. not the open area of the thread.I'm betting this will be one of the topics that Joe Clarke covers in a few weeks at Minds Eye.
