Default 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

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
Paul

Here is the technical sheet from their site: http://www.colormaker.com.au/permase...Aqua%20TDS.pdf

It shows mesh recommendations.
