Strumalum Screen Printing - Perth, Australia

Screen mesh comes in a variety of grades for use with different inks and applications.

Polyester monofilament is widely used throughout the screen printing industry, but there are a range of mesh fabrics available including stainless steel for printing on things like glass, ceramics and even circuit boards.

We use 43T mesh. The “43” refers to 43 threads per linear centimetre, while the “T” refers to the thickness of the thread. T = normal.
