Nortech 20" x 24" 305 Yellow Mesh Alum Frame
High-detail aluminum screen printing frame featuring 305 yellow mesh for fine halftones, detailed graphics, and precision ink control.
Characteristics
The Nortech 20" x 24" 305 Yellow Mesh Aluminum Frame is designed for screen printers requiring exceptional detail reproduction, sharp image definition, and controlled ink deposits. Featuring a high-tension 305 yellow mesh professionally stretched on a durable aluminum frame, this screen is ideal for fine-line artwork, process printing, simulated process graphics, and intricate halftone designs.
The yellow mesh reduces light scatter during exposure, helping maintain stencil edge sharpness and improving the reproduction of fine details. The 305 mesh count provides excellent control over ink deposit, making it a popular choice for high-resolution graphics, small text, and detailed multicolor printing applications.
Built with a lightweight yet rigid aluminum frame, this screen offers long-lasting durability, consistent tension retention, and resistance to warping commonly associated with wood frames.
