Im looking to print drawn comic like art.
What will be the best mesh to use to get the detail.
Also when they talk about a opaque water based printing base. Can I add pigment to the base and print directly onto the t-shirt? or do I have to print a white base and then the color ink on top?
Im planing to do a white plastisol base. and the fine detailed lines of the drawing with black ontop of the white base. I think this will give the print a textured feel between the white and black.
What will be the best mesh to use to get the detail.
It depends how detailed it is. If it's a large print, a 43T/110 mesh count could be totally fine. If you're using a lot of crosshatching or halftones you might want something much higher, like 90T/230.
If you upload a small section of your artwork that would give an idea of the detail, and an approximate print size, someone who knows more about mesh counts than I do might be able to give you a good/accurate recommendation.

Yes. You might want to do some test prints to see if that achieves the result you want or not though.
