Aluminium Silk Screen 43T

The Aluminium Silk Screen 43T is a robust aluminium-framed mesh screen manufactured for general-purpose textile printing. With a 43T mesh count (43 threads per cm) it allows high ink volume deposit, making it the ideal choice for bold prints, opaque coverage, and working on textiles such as t-shirts, bags or other fabrics. The welded-corner aluminium frame ensures durability, flat tension and reliable repeat usage in studio or production environments. 

Whether working with water-based textile inks, acrylic fabric paints or specialty finishes, this 43T screen gives makers a versatile platform for textile surface-decoration projects. Its construction supports both beginner workflows and experienced studio setups that require consistent, repeatable prints.

Benefits 

  • Offers excellent versatility for fabric printing, allowing high-opacity results.
  •  The aluminium frame ensures long lifespan compared with cheaper wood frames.
  • The 43T mesh allows ink to pass freely, making it ideal for less-intricate designs.
  • Perfect for makers and studios needing a reliable base screen for multiple applications.
  • Suitable for textile accessories, bags, fashion panels and other high-impact prints.
  • Strong manufacturing by a specialised textile-arts supplier ensures quality and support.

Ideal Applications:

  • Printing bold graphics on cotton t-shirts, hoodies or tote bags.
  • Creating large panels, bold straps or home-textile prints where ink coverage matters more than fine detail.
  • Using specialty inks like puff, metallic or glitter where mesh openness aids deposit and effect.
  • Studio classes or workshops where a resilient screen is needed for repeated use.
  • Production runs of apparel or textile accessories with simpler motifs and heavier ink layers.
  • Artists or freelancers offering custom print services needing a dependable, high-throughput screen.

  • Aluminium frame with welded corners provides rigidity and long-term use.
  • Mesh count 43T offers a coarse weave for heavy ink flow and strong coverage.
  • Suitable for larger design elements and graphic prints on fabric.
  • Compatible with water-based or acrylic textile inks, as well as specialty inks requiring heavy deposit.
  • Use with appropriate squeegee pressure and angle for this mesh count to maximise ink deposit.
  • After use, clean mesh thoroughly, avoid folding the frame, and store flat to preserve tension.

  • Choose size of frame according to your garment or substrate size (20 × 25 cm, 30 × 40 cm, 50 × 60 cm, etc) as offered.
  • Ensure the screen mesh is evenly tensioned before first use — low tension may produce blurred prints.
  • Pre-register your films or stencils carefully since the larger mesh will lay down more ink and spread more.
  • Clean the screen immediately after printing to prevent ink drying in mesh and reducing print quality.
  • Store the frame flat or hung vertically in a clean area to avoid dust or distortion.
  • Before printing, do test pulls on scrap fabric to adjust squeegee pressure, angle and speed for this mesh count.
