Ever wonder about the exact tension of your mesh? 95% of printing issues directly relate to the tension of the mesh. Ultimately, screens with low tension won’t pop off the garment like they’re supposed to. Printers can experience issues with off-contact and print consistency. 25 newtons of tension is considered “good” tension. Wouldn’t it be nice to know what mesh tension a screen is at? 

Take out the guessing with the BASELAYR Tension Meter. The bi-directional Tension Meter is the perfect complement for anyone using mesh panels or traditional fabric stretching. Dial in screen tension today with the BASELAYR Tension Meter.

Needed!

I was skeptical about buying this at first since it is $400+ but it was much needed! I use it on every screen now to make sure my tension is at least 25N+. Ensuring my tension is good eliminates one more variable in the process and gives me peace of mind heading into production.

FEATURES

HOW TO USE

  1. Set the tension meter on the calibration glass provided. The tension meter should read zero. If this is not the case, loosen the knob at the top of the meter and move the indicator to zero manually to calibrate the meter.
  2. To check mesh tension, place the meter in the center of the screen. The tension meter will read the mesh direction perpendicular to the metal reading rod at the meter's bottom. 
  3. Rotate the meter 90 degrees to read the other direction of the mesh. This will give you an accurate mesh tension reading of the mesh stretched across the entire screen. 
  4. Both directions of the mesh should be no more than 1 Newton different from each other.
