Sažetak
The printing plate and its characteristics in the conventional printing techniques
have a significant impact on print quality and image appearance. In screen printing,
a weave of screen mesh i.e. a number of threads per cm, is the most important
characteristic of the printing plate, hence the most relevant factor which defines
printing quality. Print quality itself is a complex term that includes desired colour
reproduction and satisfactory reproduction of image elements. In this paper focus
was centred upon the reproduction of text and basic image elements (lines and dot
structure) when printing on non-absorbent and absorbent substrates with different
screen thread counts. The image element analysis led to the conclusion that using
mesh with higher thread count does not significantly improve the reproduction of
image elements. However, it is a very important parameter for text reproduction
since low thread count may result in poor readability.
