The quality of the screen printing frame is essential for achieving high-quality, repeatable, and long-lasting prints. On this page, you'll find all the information you need to choose the right aluminum or wooden frame for you, understand the difference between the various screen printing mesh, and optimize the printing process.
The screen printing screen is the tool needed to transfer the design or image onto the product you intend to print, examples:

How to Use and Tips:

- Use professional cleaning products, not generic detergents.
Why is the screen printing frame so important?
The screen printing frame, also called a screen or screen, is the heart of every screen printing system: it keeps the canvas taut and allows the design to be precisely transferred onto fabric, paper, or other materials. Choosing a quality one ensures:
- Even tension for detailed, smudge-free results
- Long life and reusability
- Reduction of printing errors and time savings
- Compatibility with manual and automatic machines
Available A3 Screen Printing Frames:
- Aluminum Frames: Lightweight, durable, rustproof, and always perfectly straight even after numerous printing and washing cycles. Our favorite choice!
- Wooden Frames: Economical and traditional, they absorb shock better and are ideal for small batches, artisans, schools, and occasional jobs.
-
Custom Frames: If you have specific format or mesh requirements, you can request a custom screen printing frame that fits any bench or automatic loom.
Polyester Screens:
The mesh, also called the mesh, determines the precision and how much ink is deposited. It is measured in threads per centimeter (T/cm) or per inch (TPI).

- Aluminum: Ideal for frequent use, resistant to water and solvents, also perfect for machines Automatic. It doesn't warp and lasts a long time: slightly more expensive but convenient over time.
- Wood: More economical, excellent for short runs and educational/hobbyist environments. It can warp with water and ink, but can be easily re-tensioned.
Tip: If you print a lot, use solvent inks, or are looking for consistent results, choose aluminum screens. If you print occasionally and want to save money, wood is the right choice.
