Solid-Loc panels of mesh are specifically and scientifically engineered to give you the maximum print area of the screen while maintaining tension longer and more consistently than both standard static and Newman Roller frames. With a static or roller frame, mesh is simply inserted or stretch and glued across the frame as precisely as possible. Unfortunately, this often results in tension and mesh weave inconsistency and creates a screen that doesn't hold tension as long and produces poor quality print results. Solid-Loc panels are engineered and laser cut to meet the specific geometry needed to hold maximum tension over time as well as provide a larger print area. These panels of mesh are designed to be stretched in a Solid-Loc frame between 30-40 Newtons and typically maintain around 30 Newtons for thousands of screen prints.
