Hi-Dro Polyester Mesh for Screen Printing Frames – Surface Treated Mesh for Water-Based Printing
Improve ink flow, print detail, and stencil performance with Polyester Mesh for Screen Printing Frames, professional Hi-Dro polyester mesh engineered specifically for water-based screen printing applications.
SAATI Hi-Dro mesh is a high modulus, low elongation monofilament polyester mesh featuring a proprietary plasma surface treatment designed to optimize water-based ink printing performance. The mesh uses thinner thread diameters while maintaining the same mesh count, helping improve ink deposit and print detail.
Designed for textile screen printing, Hi-Dro mesh provides excellent stencil adhesion, improved printability, better ink flow, and reduced stencil breakdown during production.
Optimized for Water-Based Ink Printing
Water-based printing often requires mesh capable of maintaining smooth ink flow while preserving fine detail and stencil durability. Hi-Dro mesh was developed specifically to address these challenges through optimized mesh geometry and advanced surface treatment technology.
The plasma-treated surface also eliminates the need for degreasing pretreatment before stencil coating, helping simplify screen preparation workflow.
