I was thinking 110 mesh but was not sure
The best white on dark prints are made with higher tension and stiff sharp squeegees. Low tension makes you stroke slow and peel slow.
You can print incredible white prints with a softer hand if you have higher tension. If you start with a 110 mesh and it works, you will be able to do the same job with higher mesh and higher tension and you will be able to stroke faster with less ink.
