Screen Tension | Deep Dive with Colin

Welcome Back to Another Deep Dive with Colin! One of the most common questions we hear from both new and experienced screen printers revolves around screen tension. Specifically, when is the tension too low? At what point should you retire a screen from your inventory? Whether you need to toss it, send it out for a re-stretch, or just buy a new one, the answer isn't as simple as throwing it out when it hits a certain number on the tension meter.
