Default Screen printing mesh

I have been doing some trial runs on open mesh fabrics (like poly jersey materials). I never get a complete hole free coverage. How to either print with no open holes, or print with all the holes open.

Default Re: Screen printing mesh

Your screen mesh (not shirt mesh )count has a lot to do with it. What are you using now?

To try to get complete coverage, use a lower mesh. 86 maybe. It really depends how large the holes are in your garment. you may not be able to cover them all if the garment has larger holes.

To have all holes show through, up your screen mesh count which will lay down a thinner layer of ink.
