Silk Screen Making Capabilities
Aluminum Frames
From 1"x1" O.D. half-inch tube up to 120" x 120" O.D. with a 6" tube.
From 1/16" wall up to 1/8" depending on frame size.
Mesh
From 30 TPI (threads per inch) up to 450 TPI.
Emulsions
Everything from water-resistant up to any chemical resistance (i.e. alcohol, Pyrol, acetone). Thickness of coating or EOM (emulsion over mesh) achievable from 8 to 25 microns depending on mesh TPI, and 25 EOM-500 microns using capillary films.
Tension
Anywhere from 5 newtons up to 50 newtons, with some restrictions depending on TPI.
Screen Masks
Laser-cut mylar masking or .002" stainless steel laser-cut masks. Both are used for high volume printing, typically on steel/metal parts that would increase the stress and minimize damage to the emulsion and mesh.
Film Production
We can create new artwork using a part supplied by the customer, or take your existing art to create the film for exposure. Additional layout and design services are available based on your needs.
