Question

In Printing Screen, which type of cloth is made in Plain weave?

• A. Polyester & Nylon
• B. Silk Bolting cloth
• C. Nomex
• D. HDPE

Hint:

Plain weave gives uniform mesh required for screen printing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Screen printing requires mesh fabrics that allow controlled passage of printing paste. These fabrics must have uniform pore structure, high tensile strength, and dimensional stability. Plain weave structures are commonly used for bolting cloth.

Step 1: Understand requirement.
Screen printing cloth must:
• Have uniform openings
• Maintain dimensional stability
• Support fine printing

Step 2: Analyze fabric types.

• Silk bolting cloth → plain weave, ideal mesh structure
• Polyester/Nylon → used but not classical bolting plain weave
• Nomex → heat resistant technical fabric
• HDPE → coarse industrial fabric

Step 3: Final selection.
Silk bolting cloth is traditionally made in plain weave for screen printing.

Step 4: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{\text{Silk Bolting Cloth}} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{\text{Option (B) is correct.}} \]
