"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I really think that fear of stretching it is what keeps it from being common. It is very delicate to handle in screen making production and requires the proper steps to successfully stretch and glue onto a frame. I think no one wants to do those steps so they either skip it or offer it at maybe 22 n/cm at best.
This.I for one have no desire to stretch my own frames, have no desire for rollers as I absolutely know that I would not maintain them as they should. So that leaves me with s-mesh pre stretch static's or Shurloc ez frames with s-mesh panels. 98% of our work is 1-3 colors and do alot of white ink on black so I am thinking the ez frames maybe overkill. I am also concerned with the Gauntlet always keeping pressure on s-mesh and maybe prematurely wearing out pre stretched s-mesh statics
I was thinking about the 135/48 vs 150/48 for several weeks.If they both have the same thread diameter, wouldn't they have similar EOM percentage?If so, wouldn't 135/48 give better opacity due to less mesh interference?If this is true, then why most people are using 150 instead of 135?For me, I bought a roll of 150/48 because of the youtube clip made by Murakami mesh.
