Question mesh TPI
Hi,
In where i live when we buy mesh we say 43T, 62T etc.but when i log online, every site i go to and tutorials on screen printing, they talk about mesh size like 110 mesh,160mesh,230mesh and so on. they hardly have this higher mesh here so my standard one is 48T and vary depending on the detail of the artwork.my question is are we reading mesh the same here or different countries have different reading units. I'm kind of confused. please help
