We've gone as low as 16T for glitter, but don't do it anymore, and as high as 355T for process work, on t-shirts. We've generally used higher mesh counts for the jobs you've listed that we've encountered, but we are textile only now. In the beginning, we printed anything we could get paid for, stickers, posters, electronic enclosures, etc., and textiles.

To quote Homer (Simpson) D-oh! Got me, and I am a yankee, 20 miles west of Boston. It makes a lot more sense now. Thanks Maxie.

Good catch, Maxie - thanks. I was baffled for a minute, too.
Nice guys laugh last.
