"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
The only way to get a good static that has very little drop in tension from the stretcher is if he uses some weights while pulsing the mesh up, this simulates work hardening. We are fortunate to have someone that does it but in no way will it be norm for the larger companies that stretch, they use big massive machines that roll out the mesh over a bunch of screens at one time then glue down, they could not afford to go the extra mile and make them primo, unless they offer standard and higher end stretching services which i never seen.
Sonny I am sure your employer is top notch and hjas great screens, I am only speaking of my unique situation. Our guy makes custom screens all day long for the graphics industry with specs way above anything textile requires, he is a master screen maker that also custom coats and exposes for very unique applications. The screens he makes for customers all over the world literally have to be top notch right out the door with very specific tensions and work hardness, mesh angles, oem etc. He has been in the industry probably forty years plus now.
Ok sonny are we having a pissing contest or something?
