Choosing the Right Screen Printing Frames and Supplies

In order to work efficiently, you need to have the right materials on hand at all times. That means having a substantial variety of frames made of different materials and in different sizes. Each type offers benefits and is better in certain situations, and so ensuring you have the right tools for each job allows you to produce high-quality products across the board.

Our selection includes a range of options, and our aluminum frames in particular are both lightweight and durable. This lightness will benefit you in terms of limiting the wear and tear on your printers and presses. Aluminum frames can also hold their tension for a longer period of time, and they can be rescreened once that tension has been lost. On the other hand, wood frames tend to be slightly cheaper, and they’re especially useful on jobs that involve large, straightforward prints. 

Frame Construction and Mesh Tension

One of the most important dynamics to consider in screen printing is the relationship between the quality of your screen printing frames and the tension of the mesh they hold. This tension has a significant effect on the quality of the final image, and so the ability of the frame to hold that mesh at the appropriate level is directly related to how many good prints you’ll get from it.

While this relationship is often overlooked, it can have a major impact on your bottom line by dictating the number of prints you get out of each combination of frame and mesh you purchase. It’s also another reason that aluminum frames can be more cost-effective over time despite their higher initial purchase price, since they can be rescreened in a way that wood frames cannot.
