"silk screen" information

Silk is no longer used in Screen Printing. Today most screens are either Polyester Monofilament or Multi-filament Polyester. The monofilament mesh size is indicated with a number such as 70, 120, or 230. Multi-filament mesh size is rated as 7XX, 10XX, 12XX, or 20XX. The 70 and 7XX refer to the same screen size, as does the 120 with the 12XX and so on and so forth. A larger number means the mesh will be finer, or more threads per inch.

So the 12XX = 120u ; This is a very fine mesh. It sounds like we've got the same thing. I can't wait to try it.
