glupo

i am looking to get a screen print set up i have been doing plastisol transfers, but now i want to do screen print becuase i like the look better. I am not sure what brand to get, i would like a 4 color station, and i guess the finer the mesh the better. i dont knwo which flas dryers are good and what else do i need, any help would be great

As far as a press would go I couldn't say cause I built my own.
Higher mesh counts will give you the ability to print designs with more detail. Average stuff will be fine with a 110 mesh.
If you're using water based inks however high mesh counts can act as filters because the binding agents in the ink won't make it through the screen making your design impossible to cure. This will happen with mesh counts around 305.
If you're using plastisols you don't have to worry about that.
And for curing I use a heat gun. Hope this helps.
