what are halftones?

[CatspitProductions]

@lilpjuarez Screen printing uses small dots in varying sizes and/or spacing in order to re-create full tonal ranges that you might find in such images like photographs. Halftones can also create shading and color blends in other types of non-photographic screen prints. Basically it's a way of re-creating tones in a process that inherently cannot. Check out the Catspit website's Article Archive page for more information on halftones. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@krisw9456 Perhaps, if it’s a very heavy coat of emulsion, but if it’s just an extra pass or so it may not make much difference. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

[krisw9456]

If I double coat the shirt side of the screen with emulsion for white ink, would the exposure time have to be increased to make sure that the screen blows out the image properly?

[CatspitProductions]

@printedshirts Thank you. I have a more in depth article about this on the Catspit website which gives charts and conversions for European to US mesh count nomenclature. It also explains the mesh terminology. Check out the Article Archives section for the Mesh Conversion article. The link for my website is on my channel page and in the video description. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

Like this video, very informative.

For UK users the 110 mesh is around 43T mesh and the 305 we would call a 120T.
