18x20in Pre-Burned Screen

18x20in Pre-Burned Screen Our 18x20 pre-burned screens have a 10"x12" max image area. Recommended for DIY printers not using a press and not needing oversize prints.   Multiple images can be burned on a screen as long as they all fit within the 10”x12” max image area. All our pre-burned screens come stretched on heavy duty aluminum frames, and are carefully packaged to ensure a safe arrival. Simply open your box, tape up the edges, and get printing. Pre-burned screens typically last for thousands of prints, and adding hardener will make them last even longer. Make sure to store your pre-burned screen somewhere safe from sharp objects, sources of extreme heat, and only use appropriate screen printing cleaners. Final film output/screen size may vary by 1/8". Mesh Counts 110 Mesh - Great for printing with white and other thick inks. Not recommended for thinner water based inks. 160 Mesh - Works well with a variety of ink types and substrates. Most popular mesh count for our pre-burned screens. 230 Mesh - Most commonly used for high detail artwork. Also great for printing on paper or sanded wood. In general, a lower mesh count will lay down a thicker layer of ink and hold less detail. A finer or higher mesh count will lay down a thinner layer of ink and hold more fine detail. Emulsion Types TX-D (pink) emulsion holds up extremely well to plastisol, water based and discharge inks. HXT (blue) emulsion is recommended for printing with solvent, enamel or uv inks. Adding hardener to your pre-burned screen makes the emulsion extremely durable and difficult to reclaim.
