The answer to this question depends on the grade of mesh, and also on how fine the mesh is. The most common mesh used is a No. 12 mesh, which is much finer than, say, a No. 8 mesh. The lower the number of the mesh, the more the screen allows ink to flow through. Conversely, the higher the mesh count, the finer you can print, e.g., a 16-count mesh. As for how long a screen will last depends on how well you take care of it -- it can last for a lifetime if you clean and store it properly. Some mesh is made of silk and other fabrics; others are made of steel.
A silkscreen, also known as screen printing, is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto a substrate, such as fabric or paper. A stencil is created on the screen to block out areas where ink should not pass through, allowing for precise designs. This method is popular for producing vibrant, durable prints, especially in textiles and posters. It can be used for both large-scale production and individual artistic projects.
Silkscreen, also known as screen printing, is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto a substrate, typically fabric or paper. A stencil is created on the screen, allowing ink to pass through only in designated areas, forming the desired design. This method is widely used for creating images on textiles, posters, and other materials due to its versatility and ability to produce vibrant colors. Silkscreen printing is popular in both commercial and artistic applications.

The shot Marilyns were created by artist Andy Warhol using silkscreen printing, a technique that allowed him to produce multiple images from a single design. This method involved applying ink to a canvas through a mesh screen, enabling him to replicate the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe in vibrant colors. Warhol's use of this media contributed to the work's commentary on mass production and celebrity culture.
