Durable aluminum screen printing frame featuring 180 yellow mesh for excellent detail reproduction, controlled ink deposit, and consistent production printing.
Characteristics
The Nortech 23" x 31" 180 Yellow Mesh Aluminum Frame is designed for screen printers who require sharp image detail, reliable mesh tension, and long-lasting performance. Built with a lightweight yet durable aluminum frame, it provides the stability needed for both manual and automatic screen printing operations while resisting warping and maintaining consistent registration.
The 180 yellow mesh offers an excellent balance of detail reproduction and ink control, making it ideal for fine text, halftones, multicolor graphics, and detailed spot-color printing. The yellow mesh color helps reduce light scatter during exposure, allowing for improved stencil definition and cleaner image edges.
Whether you're producing retail graphics, athletic apparel, promotional products, or detailed process work, this frame delivers dependable performance and consistent print quality throughout production runs.

- Built for long-term production use
- The 180 yellow mesh is ideal when increased image detail is needed while still maintaining adequate ink coverage for most garment printing applications.
- Yellow mesh helps minimize light scatter during exposure, making it particularly effective for fine lines, small text, and halftone dots.
- Use a sharp, properly exposed stencil to maximize detail reproduction and edge definition.
- For plastisol printing, this mesh count provides a controlled ink deposit that helps produce softer-feel prints while maintaining opacity.
- Works well with water-based and discharge inks where improved detail and controlled ink transfer are important.
- Maintain proper screen tension to ensure accurate registration and consistent print quality throughout production runs.
- Avoid excessive squeegee pressure, as the mesh provides efficient ink transfer without requiring heavy print strokes.
- Clean screens thoroughly after production to preserve mesh performance and extend screen life.
- Use appropriate reclaiming chemicals and procedures to prevent premature mesh wear.
- Store screens vertically in a clean, dry environment to protect mesh tension and prevent accidental damage.
