So who makes the best panel frame?

[Mark @ Hurricane Printing]

I am looking to buy some 23x31 panel frames. I believe my buddy uses the Lawson one's and he has the tool to attach the mesh panels. Are there any other companies you would suggest to try out? I'm looking around on the net and all I really see are the Lawson ones. I will most probably go with those unless someone has a suggestion.

what sort of panel frames are you talking about?  there is a brand called Panel Frame.

If you are looking for higher tension, I would check out Shur-loc frames or their panels in retentionable frames.

surloc makes EZ Frames. We use them, they are very nice!

I use smaller ones from Shurloc and love it. Much nicer to print, coat, reclaim, everything is better since I switched from statics.
Some people say that Newman panels are better, but Shurloc panels with Newman frames is very good combination.

Look to get some used frames, clean them up and you will be good to go (or new ones if you have money).

Good luck

If your talking the Rebranded Panel Frames now called green screens or Trax or something or another don't frigging bother. I bought a crap load of the frame systems a couple years ago when it was new and still called Panel Frames, the other day I ordered a box of 160's from Nazdar and the frigging six pack was over $100! They are ok but not worth any where near that amount.

Mike:  Please let me look into this tomorrow because something doesn’t sound right. 

I thought that a box of (6) 156T mesh panels were less than $80.00 or about $13 each.

[ZooCity]

That's still pretty darn cheap at 16.67 per panel. 

The 150/48 panels we got from Shur-loc ran 29.30 per {!} when ordering around 36 panels at a time.  Special size though, 25x30.

I think shur-locs with newmans is the way to go...their econ mesh rocks as well...we just got another 20 newmans and have already stretched 6 of them today and all were right at 40 newtons....also for our DTS it works simple with no sagging corners and we do not have to tape them....

Just checked our invoice we were charged $100.81 for a box of 156Y 23x31

Now I checked the web listing and they are listed for $77.80?

Whats up with that?

Mike:  What’s up with that is that I think that we possibly shipped you the wrong item, or if we shipped the correct items then we billed you for the wrong item.  You are 100% correct that the price for (6) of the Item Number MSB15664W – 23”x31” 156T White Sefar Trax Screen Mesh panels is $77.80, and if that is what you ordered then that is what you should have paid.  We also have Item Number RFSA15664W – 32”x31” 156T Sefar Roller Screen Mesh Panels in our system that are priced at $100.80 for a box of (6). 

I have alerted David Heald - Inside Sales Specialist at our Pennsauken, NJ office with your concerns and asked him to follow-up with you directly to sort things out.  Could you please do me a favor and drop Dave an email at dheald@nazdar.com (with a cc; to me pwalsh@nazdar.com) with the best phone number or other method to contact you.  Please accept my apologies on behalf of Nazdar SourceOne for the mix-up in pricing and you can be sure that we will make things right.

There is the problem Peter I ordered something I always have ordered and that is sefar mesh panels 156. I never heard of the panels also being roller mesh thats news to me and no one told me when I was ordering so they sent me the roller mesh ones.

I am using the basic panel frames not rollers. Roller mesh would have no advantage for me since I cant retension them or bring them up to the high tensions roller mesh allows.

Guess its my bad since I never knew they even existed.

Mike, there’s nothing that you could have done differently.  it’s 100% our fault that someone looked up the incorrect item causing you to be shipped and billed for the wrong products. 

All I can tell you is that we strive to be perfect on each and every order, and on those few occasions where we get it wrong (as we did here) we do all that we can to make it right. 

Sorry for the confusion.

[inkman996]

Not your guys fault Peter like i said its more confusion on my end. Up until recently the only Panel frames that existed was one style only, some where along the line these new panels came out and I simply didn,t know it. I was just shocked at the price and figured Shurlok was increasing the price structure since they took over. And to be honest the system is nice but not great so that price would have scared me away from using these panels. Now i know to be careful when ordering these in the future at the normal price point.

Heck, I'm just glad that the panels are available again as for a while, the product was in limbo.

I still think that it is a viable "tweener" product.

I also think that if you are charging screen charges and eliminating the reclaim process it could be a huge labor savings. Just toss the panel when done.
