Design Blueprint: Screen Mesh Ink
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24121521): This paper addresses a practical question in line width: screen printing is the low-cost route to posters, notices and fabric printing where a run is too long for hand work and too short for offset. Using a self-contained computation from stated assumptions, the study evaluates the options across the range a small operation ordinarily meets and identifies the point at which the balance of cost, quality and material use changes. The headline findings are that cost 43 mesh usd is 7.32; cost 90 mesh usd is 3.08; saving 90 vs 43 usd per 100 is 4.24; coarsest mesh with line le 0p3mm is 77. These fi Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
