The GD Screen series is designed as a premium solution for mills that need:
• Finer linework and halftone effects
• Higher printing speeds with fewer stoppages
• More consistent open area and ink/paste laydown
By combining precise mesh geometry, controlled nickel thickness (110–120 μm) and optimized open area (15–22%), GD rotary nickel screens provide a balanced structure: strong enough to withstand high tension and fast runs, yet open enough to let dyestuff pass smoothly without excessive blocking.
The series covers 135ED, 165ED (45° / 60°), 195ED (two open area variants) and 215ED, giving printers flexibility to match mesh with design detail, color depth and process requirements.
GD Screens are engineered around three key principles:
• High density + big hole
Fine mesh with carefully designed hole diameter (46–88 μm) and open area allows accurate reproduction of small dots and lines while still transferring enough dyestuff for solid colors and gradients.
• Elastic, blockage-resistant structure
Nickel thickness and mesh design work together to create a screen body that resists deformation, holds tension and reduces blocking, even with high pigment loads.
• Tight tolerance and repeat stability
Consistent mesh, open area and diameter across the full screen width help maintain print shade, avoid banding and improve registration, especially important for continuous, long-run production.
• Repeat (mm): 640
• Length (mm): 1410–3500
• Type: GD series rotary nickel screen
• Typical use: High-precision textile rotary screen printing, fine outlines, halftone and gradient designs
| Mesh | Thickness (μm) | Open Area (%) | Diameter (μm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 135ED | 120 | 22 | 88 |
| 165ED (45°) | 115 | 19 | 67 |
| 165ED (60°) | 115 | 19 | 67 |
| 195ED | 115 | 16 | 52 |
| 195ED | 115 | 19 | 54 |
| 215ED | 110 | 15 | 46 |
Reusability: All GD Screens can typically be reused 5–7 times, depending on process conditions, cleaning method and handling.
Note: 195ED is available in two open area variants (16% and 19%) to match different dyestuff volumes and design requirements.
• Fine mesh structure (135ED–215ED) with carefully matched hole diameter provides sharp edges on small details and halftones.
• Open area up to 22% (135ED) ensures sufficient dyestuff transfer, reducing the risk of weak shades or uneven coverage.
• Hole geometry and open area are optimized to lower the risk of paste or pigment blocking, especially at higher printing speeds.
• Fewer stoppages for cleaning mean higher line efficiency and more stable production scheduling.
• Nickel thickness of 110–120 μm offers a good balance between strength and flexibility.
• The screen maintains its roundness and tension over multiple runs and stripping cycles, supporting accurate repeat and registration.
• 135ED – good for solid areas and designs that require strong color yield with fine details.
• 165ED (45° / 60°) – widely used for general fine printing, clean lines and balanced color laydown.
• 195ED – recommended for more delicate designs and halftones, available in two open area levels to adjust deposit weight.
• 215ED – very fine mesh for extremely detailed motifs, gradients and light shading effects.
• With proper handling and cleaning, GD Screens can be used 5–7 times, helping to reduce cost per printed meter.
• High durability means fewer screen replacements and less downtime.
• Ideal for small patterns, sharp outlines and halftone dots, where mesh uniformity and open area control are critical.
• Used on cotton, blends and synthetic fabrics in fashion, home textiles and technical textiles.
• GD Screens support higher printing speeds while maintaining print quality and minimizing blocking, suitable for modern high-output rotary lines.
• 165ED, 195ED and 215ED meshes are well-suited for gradient patterns, tonal prints and subtle shading, helping printers achieve smooth transitions and controlled color density.
• Compatible with reactive, disperse and pigment systems, as well as selected specialty pastes, depending on process setup.
• Screens can be chosen according to dyestuff type, viscosity and design requirements.
• Premium quality level – Designed as a higher-grade option compared with standard rotary screens, focusing on fine detail and speed.
• Stable, repeatable performance – Tight control of mesh, thickness and open area across each GD Screen improves reproducibility from batch to batch.
• Optimized dyestuff usage – High density big-hole structure can help reduce dyestuff consumption while still achieving target shades.
• Flexible portfolio – Multiple meshes and open area variants give mills the ability to fine-tune print behavior for each design and fabric.
Q1. What makes GD Screens different from standard rotary nickel screens?
GD Screens are designed as a high-density, big-hole series with fine mesh, controlled open area and carefully tuned nickel thickness. They offer better print definition, higher speed capability and reduced blocking compared with standard screens, making them suitable for demanding fine printing applications.
Q2. How do I choose between 135ED, 165ED, 195ED and 215ED?
In general:
• Choose 135ED when you need stronger color and good detail.
• Choose 165ED (45° / 60°) for versatile fine printing and balanced coverage.
• Choose 195ED for delicate designs and halftones; select 16% open area for lighter deposits and 19% for slightly heavier ones.
• Choose 215ED for very fine lines, gradients and light shading with minimal deposit.
Q3. How many times can a GD Screen be reused?
With proper mounting, printing, stripping and cleaning, a GD Screen can typically be reused 5–7 times. Actual lifetime depends on the chemicals used, mechanical conditions, line speed and fabric type.
Q4. Are GD Screens compatible with my existing rotary printing machinery?
GD Screens are produced with a 640 mm repeat and lengths of 1410–3500 mm, which match most textile rotary screen printing systems. By confirming your machine’s specifications and end-ring system, you can easily integrate GD series nickel screens into your existing lines.
