Re: Pulling Ink Through a Mesh. Plastisol, Yes.
Polyvinyl Chloride .
Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's like Salt, "Sodium Chloride", or Water, "DiHydrogen Monoxyde".
Just as clean, and just as biodegradable.

Re: Pulling Ink Through a Mesh. You push ink through a screen not pull it. And plastisol can be "pushed" through mesh as high as 305. 70-80 durometer will do just fine for that application.
