moral of the story...stick with 156 mesh

[jprs22]

just a note from someone who developed carpal tunnel screen printing. you say your strokes are the same, but it takes more pressure to clear the higher mesh. fatigue is definitely a factor when printing volume, and if the detail can handle it the 110 would be faster and easier to clear. Time is money and good health is priceless.

Ryonet, excellent presentation on your mesh comparison.

Thanks!!

It took me a while to figure out that 156 is my favorite, both for printing and burning dual-cure emulsion. I'm not sure why 110 is considered the "standard," especially if you have a lot of detail going on - but squeezing a HO white onto a dark shirt via 110 for say block athletic numbers is a good choice.

@tcottarel just stir it up for a few minutes before using. It should go back to a normal "look". If it doesn't combine up and look normal, then possibly its bad. I got some old ink from another shop and it looked bad until stirred...then all was normal and it printed just fine.

@tcottarel Plastisol inks are a lot thicker than regular paint, you could pretty much compare the consistency of silk screening textile ink to choclate puddin.

@tcottarel watch the second half of this video: Printing Ink Additives Seminar - Part 3 of 5 - How to screen print on ryonets channel. The people talk about heat and other issues that may alter the ink for certain reasons. I dunno if it help.
