Need help on mesh size: water-based ink
Hi folks
Could anyone advise me on the correct mesh size for Permaset Aqua, water based inks.
I will be printing process colours but would be interested in your thoughts for standard inks as well.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Regards
Paul

Re: Need help on mesh size: water-based ink Thanks Joe.... had a look at brochure but can't find info relating to process colours. There is only info on standard colours.
Would I be right in thinking process colours require a finer mesh than standard inks?
Cheers
