Default How do you reduce ink for screen printing?

I'm ordering a couple of 200 mesh screens for some fine detail screen printing and I read the comments under description and it says ink will need to be reduced. Thats it. Nothing else. So do i need to buy ink reducer? (didn't find anything by that name on my supplies website) or do u just add water or something like that?? please help

If you're printing with plastisol ink, you need what they call a "curable reducer".

If you are using plastisol ink you can purchase a curable reducer from your screen print supplier.
