Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your frames, ensure you have a clean workspace and an appropriate screen printing press or hinge clamps to hold the frames in place. Begin by applying the provided silver sealing tape around the interior edges of the frame where the mesh meets the aluminum; this creates a barrier that prevents ink from pooling in the corners.
For care and maintenance, always clean your screens immediately after use. If using water-based inks, wash the screens with lukewarm water and a soft brush. For oil-based or plastisol inks, use an appropriate screen wash or solvent. Store the frames in a dry, cool environment to prevent premature mesh degradation. Avoid using sharp tools that could tear the polyester mesh when clearing excess ink.
