Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Ok..so I read this thread and you all talk about getting new mesh and to get our heads out of our asses...but when I tell you get a DTS I get all kinds of "why you cannot" hahahah booomm right back at you!
wish I knew about S Mesh 2 weeks ago. I ran 110 black shirts, with underbase (3 color front - 4 color back) and the print looks good but has the a little bit of the bullet proof feel going on with it. I used 156's for the underbase white...200's for the highlight white and golden yellow and a 230 for the scarlet red....The scarlet red is what killed me...I had to do multiple hits (2 sometimes 3) of the red to cover the white properly. I should have used a lower mesh for the red but it was the only screen I had left to use. For now on any frame I buy (i buy the aluminum 23 x 31's) I will buy with S Mesh on it.
a few yards? we have over 200 23x31...that is a lot more than a few yards..plus what will also help you on the bottom line? yeah a dts...we are setting up 3-7 color jobs and never touching micros...just printing. that you CANNOT do by lining up by eye!sam
I have been looking for a long time for s-thread static frames and come up empty. I even emailed Murakami and got no response. I asked a rep from our supplier about them and see said they are the best thing I could do printing manually but they dont sell em.

We always seem to have issues and it rips once we get to maybe the mid 20's...I know I wasn't asked, and I knew right away who posted that LOOOOONNNG thread on s mesh without even reading the name :-), but we run all S mesh and we run them all right around 28-33 newtons with the exception of 310 - that's more like 19-24 newtons.Stupid question here, I assume I already know the answer, but are you stretching yours on roller frames?
