Understanding Mesh Counts

Updated on Nov 30, 2025

Arena Digital Screen Bruns come in only three mesh counts. The thermal print process makes it possible for our mesh to hold more "image information" to create 1200dpi, high resolution burns. If you are more accustomed to using a specific mesh count for your prints, you can achieve the results you're looking for using this comparison:

For photographs, fine lines, gradients, tiny fonts use: 

Arena Digital Mesh 200 replaces Traditional Mesh Counts of 230/280/305

For less detailed line art, or artwork using fills and fine details use:

Arena Digital Mesh 120 replaces Traditional Mesh Counts of 160/200

 For full fills, heavier inks and larger elements use:

Arena Digital Mesh 70 replaces Traditional Mesh Counts of 60/90/110
