Tensioning
Screen Tension is the most crucial element that determines how much control you will have over the printing process. Insufficient tension can cause poor coverage by forcing the ink into the garment instead of laying on top. Printing with high tension will result in better registration, faster printing speeds, less ink build up, and reduce operator fatigue.
Rapid Tensioning vs. Stage Tensioning
Rapid Tensioning is the most common method used to achieve a stretched screen printing frame. Rapid Tensioning results in the fabric beginning to stabilize immediately, and level off below the recommended tension level. Thus resulting in tension loss and improper tension levels. This technique is used by most screen makers. Stage Tensioning, however, is very time consuming because of the series of stretch and relaxation, which allows the fabric to stabilize without damaging the mesh characteristics. This process allows us to achieve higher tension levels with the use of low elongation fabrics.
Our studies have concluded that the Stage Tensioning procedure will produce higher tension levels with less tension loss.
Pocono Screen Is Proven "Best Tensioned Wood Frame"
Pocono Screen was proven "Best Tensioned Wood Frame" by The Press Magazine (August 2000). Using the staged procedure, Pocono Screen can sustain high tension levels far exceeding the competition. The use of our newly installed Harlacher H28-S4 system and Saati mesh provide constant and uniform tensions unsurpassed by any other stretching method today.
Harlacher H28 Stretching System
Using our newly installed Harlacher H28-S4 Stretching System which features a 4-way stretching system, and the use of Saati Hitech Mesh, we can assure the customer elevated tensioning along with consistant results. We have the facilities to build and stretch up to 8'x16'. The Harlacher H28-S4 is the world's premier screen stretcher manufactured in Switzerland and used worldwide to produce top quality precision screens.
