If your getting 12 this is what I would do. I hate 110's I only have one in my shot and has been siting with out emulsion for months. 6) 123 - low detail, solid spot colors that need coverage4) 156 - I like these in white mesh, higher detail maybe some large halftone (I do up to 42 LPI on these) 2) 230 - high detail, halftones and anything else that does not need heavy ink coverage
start off with roller frames...why not do it right from the start...get 156 mesh and 230 and you will be golden...but then again you can do it anyway you want..sam
I use primarily 110 and 160 on the manual. A lot of people don't use 110's. I want to know what they are doing to get white ink through a 160 without killing themselves. I would say get 5-110, 5-160, and 2-230.
Hello Gang. My first post here......I just purchased Mr. Tee's Hopkins 4/4 press and dryer and I'm gearing up to dive (back) into this crazy industry, but I've forgotten quite a bit. I want to buy about 12 aluminum frame screens, but I'm not sure what variety of mesh counts to order and why/when to use them. Yes, it's a loaded question, but can someone post an opinion on the matter. An opinion on newbie squeegie selection would help also.I plan to do the simple jobs starting out, and farm out the complex and larger jobs to some auto guys locally. Many thanks, DeweyMemphis, TN
