Screen Printing Tools & Calculators
Free, practical tools for the press and the print table — estimate ink, choose a mesh count, dial in a squeegee, set a cure, adjust an exposure, and price a job.
Ink Coverage Calculator
Estimate how much plastisol, water-based, or discharge ink a print job needs from the print size, quantity, and ink type — grams per print and a total with a waste allowance
Mesh Count Selector
Find the right screen mesh count for your ink and design detail — get a recommended range and a solid starting number for bold art, halftones, puff, or glitter
Squeegee Guide
Pick a squeegee durometer, edge profile, and attack angle to match your ink and mesh count for a clean, consistent print stroke
Cure Temp/Time Calculator
Work out the conveyor-dryer belt speed for your target cure time, plus a typical ink-surface temperature to aim for by ink type
Emulsion Exposure Calculator
Adjust a known-good screen exposure time to a new lamp distance or wattage using the inverse-square law, instead of guessing at a new setup
Cost-Per-Print Calculator
Add up setup cost, ink, labor, blanks, and overhead per print and get a suggested sale price for your target profit margin
Mesh Count Reference
Every ink type and detail level in one chart — recommended mesh count, the squeegee that pairs with it, typical ink deposit, and an exposure-scaling reference
