Advanced Tension Requires stable frames, an experienced technician, and a high quality stretching device. Operators will need to use minimum off-contact distance during printing. Expert Tension Suitable only for expert screen makers and machine operators utilizing state-of-the-art stretching equipment. Demands great care and minimum off-contact distance during printing. NOTES Recommended tension values are calculated from breaking tension measurements taken on a 100 cm x 100 cm (approx. 39.4″ x 39.4″) mechanical stretching device NEED MORE INFORMATION?
