I suggest you download the instructions for
Optilux™ Ultra Reflective Ink Systems.

Any ink will have a smoother finish if you fill the holes in the mesh before printing a surface print. Of course, that requires the time consuming print + flash that will triple your labor cost, plus another screen and a choked positive.
