Screens Ripping

Maxie:
What could be causing screens to rip in the middle?
Printing on MHM S  Type

tonypep:
Check the ink for any screws, machine parts that may have come loose and fell in. Also check the print head for missing screws etc.
Or it could be the gremlins!

Sbrem:
Sometimes there could be a small nick in the mesh, just waiting to pop...

I don't know if your machine has the same floodbars but check them for nicks if so.  It doesn't take much of one to rip the screen.  Use some emery cloth to smooth them out.

Atownsend:
For us a rip in the middle usually means tension is too high. But we’re using newmans. Are these screens new?
