Aluminum Screen and Frames FAQ

Why choose aluminum frames over wood for screen printing?

Aluminum frames are lighter, more durable, and completely water-resistant. Most importantly, they stay flat and keep their tension longer than wood, which is essential for high-quality registration on multi-color jobs.

What mesh count should I use for my project?

Use 110 mesh for heavy ink deposits (white ink on dark shirts), 156 mesh for general purpose printing, and 230 to 305 mesh for high-detail halftones and solvent-based inks.

Do you offer a screen restretching service?

Yes. Our Restretched Aluminum Screen Frame Program and Screen Frame Exchange Program allow you to send in your old frames to be professionally cleaned and tensioned with new mesh at a fraction of the cost of new frames.
