What is the difference between the Metal Profile frames 25x25 mm and the SC1 frames?
- "25x25 mm" indicates the profile of the frame, measuring 25 x 25 mm, and it looks like a little isosceles trapezium with matching sides.
It consists of a light and handy frame, suitable for frames measuring no more than 50x70 cm.
- The profile called SC1, or TL/0 by other manufacturers, is traditionally the most used by the Italian screen printers, and it looks like an isosceles trapezium with matching sides, and the ones where the fabric is glued are slightly convex.
Its volume is about 30x35 mm.
It is made of iron, and it is varnished with blue powders enamel.
The cost of the two profiles is the same. If you do not have any particular requirements with regards to the compatibility of the frame with your printing machine, for practicality we suggest you order any available frame from our warehouse. Please bear in mind that the frame 25x25 mm is lighter and handier, and it is suitable for measurements lower than 50x70 cm.
What is the difference between a low count mesh (i.e.: 34 threads) and a high count mesh (i.e.: 180 threads)?
The number next to the mesh indicates the number of threads per square centimetre. A 34-thread mesh will therefore let more ink pass through (there are less threads per square centimetre) and therefore it is suitable for printing less detailed stencils. A mesh with 180 Threads per square centimetre will let less ink pass through and it is therefore suitable for printing stencils with finer details, stripes, lines. There are also more suitable meshes for every kind of ink (or to print in four-color reproduction): please let us know what your needs are on info@cplfabbrika.com, or check on the technical card of the ink which you use to print (you can download the technical card by going to the ink page or straight in each colour page)
Where can I find the products technical sheets? And the security cards?
With regards to the inks, almost every page dedicated to the inks contains a pdf which can be downloaded with the technical cards.
For all other products, please send a request by e-mail to info@screenprintingstore.net
You can ask for the security cards by e-mailing info@screenprintingstore.net
