Stretching Screen Printing Mesh

Napenjanje sitotiskarskih mrežic


Screen printing is a popular printing method where a woven polyester mesh is used to transfer ink onto textiles or other materials. The mesh is stretched on a wooden or aluminum frame, and the ink is pushed through the screen with a squeegee onto the substrate. For the correct reproduction of an image, it is important that the screen printing frames are properly tensioned, which is why at Gajcom we ensure high-quality screen printing mesh stretching.

The choice of mesh and its tension directly affect the screen printing process, as these are among the first things considered when issues arise. For example, if the print at the edge of the frame is offset or the uniformity of the ink application varies, incorrect mesh tension is usually to blame. Printing with a uniformly tensioned mesh improves print quality and extends the lifespan of both the mesh and the squeegee rubber.

In the preparation of screens, we are thorough; we appropriately clean and sand the frames beforehand and glue the meshes to the frame using high-quality adhesives. We stretch meshes of various densities from 32 threads/cm to 120 threads/cm (yellow and white meshes). With a system of multiple clamps, we can achieve optimal uniformity of tension across all parts of the screen, both for white and yellow meshes. The maximum frame size we can tension for you is 108cm x 78cm.

For gluing the mesh to aluminum and wooden frames, we use high-quality two-component fast-drying adhesives that ensure a strong bond of the mesh to the substrate.
