Newman Roller VS Shurlock EZ Frames

[Doug S]

thanks for all of the input guys!

we will be printing a lot of white plastisol on dark garments, any recommendations on mesh panels? i know newman mesh panels are very strong, durable, and high quality in general, but i also heard really good things about the shurlock S panels... any ideas on which is better for thick white plastisol?

We print with mostly 150/48 when printing white "Approximately 80% of the time

We use mostly 160/48 for our white plates.  Prefer the 160 over the 150 as it comes in white and is more noticable that its a underbase or single color screen.

So, here's my take on it (unbiased of course!!!)

<start shameless plug>

We love roller frames, we really do. We still sell about 80% of our panels in Roller variety, and if you missed it at ISS Long Beach, the Endurance Panels make them even better than our original panels. If you haven't seen them yet, hit up our YouTube Channel (shurloc.com/youtube) for a quick peek. I think the EZ Video is the only one posted there, but it gives you the general idea of what they are.

That said, static frames are the Polaroid of the screen industry. You take a snap shot and seconds later you have a great little picture. The roller frame is like an SLR camera. Total control, high end accessories and amazing final products can come off of them with some tweaking and experimenting. The E-Z Frame is like a point and shoot camera. To steal the line from TV, you set it and forget it... At least until now...

The entire E-Z Frame experience changed with the Endurance Panel. 6 years ago when the EZ Frame came out, this is what EVERYONE wanted. Full retensionability, exact control, any meshes you want, and a panel that is almost indestructible. It basically, for lack of a better term, is a game changer. The frame does cost a bit more, but the money you save in shipping replacement fabrics (with the ability to wad them up due to there being no permanent plastic on board) will easily make up the difference in the cost of the frame in just a few shipments. Then you have the extended fabric life that the panels will give you over traditional mesh since almost every inch of exposed edge is doubled up and protected by the Endurance Strip.

If you have a roller frame setup, you're just a panel and a set of rods away from trying one out. If you have EZ Frames, you can order a set of bars with rods and a panel to get rolling. If you're a first timer, I can pre-stretch you a frame with one on it and let you try it out that way. Just let me know! We're really excited to get you guys the next big thing and get feedback from you on it. Some of you already chimed in at the LB Show and we're already working in some of the ideas - and we're sure there are more out there!
