Nortech 20" x 24" 86 White Mesh Alum Frame
Professional aluminum screen printing frame featuring durable 86 white mesh for high ink deposit applications, specialty inks, and bold graphic printing.
Characteristics
The Nortech 20" x 24" 86 White Mesh Aluminum Frame is designed for screen printers who require maximum ink deposit, excellent coverage, and dependable production performance. Built with a lightweight yet durable aluminum frame, this screen provides long-lasting stability while resisting warping commonly associated with wood frames.
The 86 white mesh offers a lower mesh count that allows greater ink flow, making it ideal for printing bold graphics, athletic prints, specialty effects, high-opacity whites, puff inks, glitter inks, shimmer inks, and other applications requiring heavier ink deposits. The white mesh construction also provides excellent visibility during setup and stencil inspection.
Suitable for both manual and automatic printing environments, the Nortech 20" x 24" frame delivers reliable registration, consistent print quality, and durability for demanding production shops.
