    Sericol, Colenso or your local screen stretcher. For the price, and hassle factor, I’d rather just buy a new screen though.

    Depending on what your printing, mesh count of 90 – 120

    Cheers John

    Judging by your replies I would conclude that you do not know much or anything about screen printing. This is not something you can just buy of fleabay and use without any knowledge of printing. If I am wrong with this assumption please accept my apologies.

    John there was nothing wrong with your replies, its just me, I always read a bit deeper than some people. If he new how to print I don’t think he would be asking those questions. As I said I may also be wrong and apologised in advance 😎

    As John has said Sericol, Colenso and Marler Finecal. . For spot colour work a 90 screen would be fine. For 4 colour process a 120 screen would be much better

    Is screen printing used for things other than garments then ??

    I ask as I have been asked to locate a good screen printer in the Midlands and its hard to locate through google as many seem to link to pakistan and china etc 😉

    How do I locate people on the forum who can do what we might need??

    Regards Andy T

    type in screen printing into you tube and be amassed at the items people print using this methoid. it also amasses me on how people adapt things to enable them to print certain objects.

    Our strangest thing to print were vending machine covers for lighters that were sold in the gents toilets……
