Description
Saati Hitex Plus 60″ Screen Printing Mesh — High Tension, Low Elongation
Saati Hitex Plus is a high-modulus, low-elongation monofilament polyester mesh built for printers who care about registration and detail. Its low-stretch construction lets you tension higher and, just as importantly, hold that tension — so screens stabilize quickly, stay consistent across a set, and lay down an even, repeatable ink film. It runs beautifully with plastisol, water-based, discharge, solvent and UV inks, and comes as a 60″ × 30-yard bolt in eight mesh counts, from a 86 underbase mesh to a 305 for fine halftones and 4-color process.
Watch: Mesh, Tension & Why It Matters
Why Proper Mesh Tension Matters
Tension is the single biggest factor in print quality that printers most often overlook. Correct, consistent tension gives you:
Sharp registration
Even tension across a set of screens keeps colors lined up — essential for spot color, simulated process and 4-color work.
Consistent ink deposit
Higher, stable tension shears the ink cleanly and lays an even film, so prints match from the first shirt to the last.
Controlled dot gain
Proper tension with lower off-contact holds halftone dots crisp and keeps process work from muddying up.
Faster, cleaner printing
Good tension clears in one stroke with less flooding, and reduces ghosting, streaking and mesh marks — fewer misprints and re-dos.
Longer screen life
Hitex Plus’s low elongation means less stretch and stress, so screens hold up longer and drift less between jobs.
Measure it, do not guess
You cannot control what you do not measure. A tension meter is the only way to tension every screen to spec and match a set.
Tension to spec with a tension meter
The Murakami Tension Meter reads up to 60 N/cm and lets you tension every screen to the same number, so registration holds and prints stay consistent. Tension in stages, let the mesh rest, then re-tension — and log it. Hitex Plus reaches target tension fast and holds it.
Recommended Tension Range by Mesh Count
These are recommended working tensions for the Hitex Plus counts we stock. Tension gradually in stages and let the mesh rest between passes; Hitex Plus can safely hold the higher end of each range thanks to its low elongation.
Which Mesh Count Should I Use?
As a rule of thumb, lower mesh counts lay down more ink for bold, opaque prints; higher counts hold finer detail with a thinner, softer deposit. Here is a quick starting guide:
Doing 4-color process?
Reach for 230–305 (the 305/34 and 305/40 yellow meshes). Yellow mesh reduces light scatter during exposure for sharper dots, and higher tension keeps CMYK halftones clean and in register.
Printing a white underbase?
Use 86–110 to push a bright, opaque base, then print your top colors on higher mesh (200–305) for a soft, detailed finish.
Getting the Most From Hitex Plus
- Tension in stages — bring it up gradually rather than all at once.
- Let the mesh rest 20–30 minutes, then re-tension; low-elongation mesh settles fast and holds.
- Tension every screen in a color set to the same reading for dead-on registration.
- Choose yellow mesh (125 and up) for detail and process work — it sharpens exposure.
- Store finished screens flat and out of direct sunlight, and log each screen’s tension.
