Now this is a productive post ... Spiderman thinks that both the panel frames and the Shur-Loc are much better than stretch/glue static frames :-))

I think both systems are excellent ideas and quite practical for the everyday screen printer ... I actually like the idea of most screen print shops using these over stretch/glue static frames -and- in certain cases even doing away with the retention able frames all together :-))

Dont you think the retensionables at the much higher levels are need in some cases?
Panelframe was having trouble with Chinese panels, has this been resolved. Robert have you used these in production?

Default Re: PANELFrame system

We have been using them since April and little by little we have been replacing our statics with them. We found in the long run its cheaper to purchase the panel frames then to send statics out to be meshed. We also have been stocking up on the mesh for the frames, if you do have a defective screen it can be changed in about a minute. The screens hold good tension for a while but not as well as a roller but again the panels are easy to change and inexpensive.
I have heard of problems with them in the beginning but we have not had any issues.

One Stroke, we have been buying starter kits. Four frames, six mesh of the same size your choice and the tool.

These make sense for several reasons. The drawback is that you cannot work harden the mesh which rules these out for many. Early on they were using a Murakami mesh which, by all accounts, lost tension rapidly. They have since switched to Sefar. I am bringing in six frames to test. For the static frame folks it appears these are cheaper than sending frames out to re-mesh especially after the freight back and forth.
