Scott and I had a beer with these guys during the PrintWear show and walked away with more knowledge and insight than all the seminars I’ve ever attended.

The mesh in this screen has to be some kind of world record holder. I no longer have a “newt-o-meter” so I can’t give you a precise # but it’s hard.

It was the last clean screen.
