Dynamic Lists - ADVOCACY UPDATES

Preparing the screen is the first step in the screen printing process and is probably the most important one. We can’t expect to achieve a good print result when using a screen of poor quality. The objective in any printing process is to reproduce the original artwork as exactly as possible.

The Rz value is a numerical reference to the mesh/emulsion equalization on the screen.
