Screens Ripping

<< < (2/2)

Evo:
Need more info.

*Where* did the rip occur? On press? During cleanup?


Possible culprits (not a complete list):

Too high tension
Burr on an ink knife
Burr on a flood bar
Careless teenager in the screen room
Debris in the ink
Debris on a pallet
Debris in a shop rag
You looked at the screen wrong and hurt it's feelings

"Debris in the ink"

One time we noticed metal shavings in the white ink bucket.  Electricians....

Thanks for the comments, I was over streching.
My Newton meter was one by 4 newtons, I'm using thin mesh so overstretching by 4 Newtons is quite a lot.
I've had my meter for 30 years, cost $100 to have it recalibrated by Newman, not bad.
