  • Hi There. Love your videos.

    Just a quick question.

    Is it possible to use a high mesh count like 280 for the basic print that you could use a 110 for?

    I know it would make a difference on highly detailed prints but lets say for a simple print of text. Is it safe to use.

    I'm only asking as I'm limited to what I have....

    Cheers

  • @topstuff001 Yes, you can use the 280 for anything you want. The issue will be with the thicker, high opacity inks and/or printing dark garments. It will be much harder to push the ink through a higher mesh count and therefore your coverage could suffer especially with white inks. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

  • Just placed an order through Ryonet using your code. Thanks for the videos!
