{"product_id":"the-press-and-mesh-aluminum-silk-screen-printing-kit","title":"The Press and Mesh | 20x24 Inch Aluminum Silk Screen Printing Frame Kit","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint quality is decided before the squeegee moves.\u003c\/strong\u003e A screen that sags in the middle, or a frame that twists under tension, will give you a soft edge no amount of pressure can fix. The Press and Mesh kit starts from the part most people neglect: a full aluminium alloy frame, 0.8 inch thick, holding polyester mesh at high tension so the stencil stays flat across the whole print area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium is the reason these frames last. Wood frames move with humidity, which changes the tension of the mesh and drags your registration with it. An alloy frame holds its shape through a production run and cleans up without swelling or splintering at the corner joints. The kit is supplied in 2, 4 and 6 frame sets, with mesh counts of 160, 230, 305 and 355, which between them cover the full range of common work: thick stencils for water-based inks on absorbent fabric, mid counts for solvent inks, and high counts for fine detail with oily inks on smooth substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20 by 24 inch working size is the practical middle ground. It is large enough for a full front print on a t-shirt, a tote panel or a poster, and small enough to handle and store without a rack. When you prepare artwork, add roughly 3.9 inches to the length and width of the image you want to print, and that figure is the minimum inner space the frame needs. Choose the mesh count to match the ink and the substrate, and the kit does the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuy the frame once. Buy the mesh for the job in front of you.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin:24px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e✦ Full aluminium alloy frames that resist tension loss and corner distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e✦ 0.8 inch frame thickness for a stiff, flat printing surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e✦ Polyester mesh in 160, 230, 305 and 355 counts for water-based, solvent and oily inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e✦ 20 by 24 inch working area suits apparel fronts, totes, panels and posters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e✦ Available in 2, 4 and 6 frame sets for small runs or production bays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e✦ Cleans up without the swelling that shortens the life of wooden screens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 inch (2cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh counts available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160, 230, 305, 355\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2, 4 or 6 frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 24 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork allowance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add about 3.9 inch to the length and width of the image\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInk guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-based for 100 to 200 mesh, solvent for 200 to 300 mesh, oily for 300 to 400 mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SucceBuy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mainland China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom First Order To Production Bay\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is aimed at the small print studio taking its first paying orders, the school or community workshop running a screen printing unit, and the established printer who wants a spare set of frames ready so a job does not stall while screens dry.

Solvent inks suit mid counts around 200 to 300. Oily inks are for the higher counts, 300 to 400, on smooth surfaces.
