| Start at 230 for any detailed work. If you go any higher you will be printing on vinyl or plastic or specialty paper. Hope it helps. |

but it depends very much on the type of ink you use.
the water based ink I use for teeshirts is not very liquid (it makes it more opaque and really steady), so it's better to use it with a large mesh. Otherwise it's a mess when you have to wash your mesh. And it dries quickly in the mesh.
If you have a more liquid type of ink, solvent based ink or uv inks, perhaps it will be easier to use a more precise mesh and print more details.

| At my shop I use plastisol inks. My average meshcount is 155-175. I only bust out the 230 for super fine detail and only use 300 when I'm doinf process printing. |
