screen printing mesh, Screen Mesh Fabric
Fabric is used as supporter of an ink-blocking stencil. Polyester
has replaced traditional silk as the fabric of choice among screen
printers all over the world because of its tensile strength,
elastic memory and resistance to chemicals, abrasion heat and
moisture. Polyester is woven from yarn that is extruded from heated
polyester into a single strand. The extruded threads will spun to a
precise diameter.
Difference between yellow and white silk screen fabric:
The yellow or orange mesh tends to eliminate the parasite lights
which can reduce the engraving resolution. It is particularly
useful on fabrics with a high count mesh (from 120 threads/cm and
up), when engraving screened back images or for very fine lines. It
improves the performance of the neon light exposure units, as a
source of indirect light, like the neon, tends to produce a lot of
parasite light. According to our experience, the yellow mesh does
not make much difference on a 100/cm threads or less fabric. It is
worth mentioning the fact that with a yellow mesh one needs to
proportionally increase the exposure time, as this mesh absorbs the
light.
