SAATI ASHR HI-DRO Screen Printing Mesh

SAATI ASHR HI-DRO 157.48 is a high-performance monofilament polyester screen printing mesh manufactured by SAATI and engineered specifically for demanding screen printing applications, particularly water-based and discharge inks.

This mesh is part of SAATI’s HI-DRO (High-Droplet) series, which features a proprietary surface treatment designed to optimize ink flow and ink deposit. The treated surface improves stencil adhesion, enhances ink release, and helps reduce common issues such as premature ink drying in the screen.
