Default How much detail on 110 mesh?

I am curious to know if anyone has had success with fine detail using a 110 mesh? I know it's for basic graphics and text but I came across someone on craiglist selling 20 for $5 each. I am printing one color line drawings (think of the Dover clipart or vintage etching stuff but enlarged) and wanted to know if 110 would work for this type of graphic. I enlarge enough that the finest lines are no smaller than 1/8th". Ive attached an example of something that I want to know would work on 110.

Default Re: How much detail on 110 mesh?

Hi,

With a 110 mesh it is hard to have details under 1pt.

For full front print,
- hawk-owl_1_lg.gif I would use a minimum of 135, 170.

- the other design, I would use a minimum of 230 mesh.

good luck
