I would strongly suggest Graphic Screen Fashion out of the Chicago area for great static frames at a great price.Frank B. will give you value and repeatability and developed the sealant system to eliminate taping. GSF 847 875 7549 and ask for Frank.Compare and you will see a major difference in quality!Mark Diehl
Nothing makes me laugh more than seeing a $300 Newman meter on a 20 something brand new static and hearing complaints of how crappy the tension is. send that crap back and get you some real frames to go with that great meter.

All s-mesh, over a one year period they are still at 26N, that`s 2N below the max. recommended level. And yes we have used those frames a fair bit.And depending on the mesh 20N might be smack bang in the middle of what is recommended. Even on roller frames you would not want to exceed 28N when stretching s-mesh.

It's changed the industry for the better and is what's sending the sales of the MZX rollers through the roof. The absolute best combo is s-mesh and mzx rollers. It's an investment that no static frame can ever match. The murakami frames and mesh are the bomb and i've used many of them with amazing results. It's just what they are attached to that i will never get on board with. the ONLY time statics are ok is in Tony's shop, cause as we all know.. DC screens don't need no tension
