And used in light fabric cloth. Compareing with “T” type mesh, its opening rate is also higher because of its thinner wire diameter.

“T” type mesh is woven by thicker wire diameter. This kind of fabrics have lower opening rate. The surface of the mesh is rather crude. And the mesh cloth is much thick, but its tear strenth is a littler higher. The “T” type mesh suitable for mass and thick fabric printing. The thickness of “T” type mesh is thicker 1/3 than “S” type mesh.
