S Mesh Screens

[Shanarchy]

Darryl,

I recent;y made the switch too. Try the 150 for your white. I think you will like it better. It clears just as easy. I'm still deciding between 180 and 225 for my top colors. On the auto I'm thinking the 225 should definitely do you fine but test one of each.

Best thing I have ever done.

Orion, thanks for the link. Like I said, I over tensioned my screens as I never did the research. Most have lasted the higher tensions, but I am very low volume compared to most of you and I am fairly careful with my screens and I am a 1 man shop. Thanks for the help everyone.

Yeah I bought each of the most popular mesh cts, I put my tension meter on them right out the box and it read 18 to 19 for all of them, I was thinking it might had been a little higher put still a good working screen tension for statics.  I will be changing them out as my other screen go south which ain't to far LOL.

225 for top colors will definitely work, you could honestly get away with a 280/300 (or something comparable around there) and be perfectly fine.

Wow what a difference it makes to get them stretched by Muarakami. They stretched our static frames to 28N for the 150-S and  225-S are as well around 26N-28N. They did a beautiful job.

I am pretty sure I have in 6 years popped more screens than any other one man shop. Every pop is a message and a lesson.
Now we are pretty good at stretching without the pop. The key  on square bar frames is softening the corners ESPECIALLY on the top roller.
Our shop typical is
40Nm on 156
30 -32 on 196
28 - 30 on 230
25-28 on 180 S-mesh
