Why Murakami S-Mesh??
Murakami S-Mesh has a thinner thread than its standard equivalent. This leads to more open area (opacity) while still leaving a thinner/softer print.
- Less squeegee pressure needed.
- Stronger base plate opacity.
- Softer Hand plastisol prints.
- More retained details in the print.
- Stonger color for discharge with more image detail.
- Higher mesh counts can be used with similar results to lower mesh counts.
- 45 and 55 line halftones can be imaged on 150LX and 180LX.
135S - Halftone Base Plates, Spot Color, HSA Inks, Discharge, Waterbase, Plastisol, 50 line halftones
150S - Same as 135S with the difference being 45 and 55 line halftones.
180S - Higher tonal capture of base plates, less ink usage. Same inks as 135S and 150S
225S - 65 Line base plates, upper limit for discharge and HSA. Detailed spot colors, spot color overprints.
Why Spot Color Supply Frames??
- We ONLY use high quality mesh (No unknown house brands here!!)
The heart of every screen printing frame is the mesh it is stretched with. Just because mesh is labeled as low elongation doesn't mean it is true. Trust the leaders in our industry, Saati and Murakami have been manufacturing high tension, low-elongation mesh for many years.
- All frames are prepped using a Grunig G-Prep 320
In our quest to make the best pre-stretched frames available, we found frame preparation to be difficult to accomplish by hand. The factory bead blast on most frames is a less than perfect glue surface, and belt sanders/grinders gave inconsistent results. The Grunig G-Prep 320 was the answer. The rotating cutter leaves a consistent highly textured surface, perfect for frame glue adhesives.
- Starting tension is 28-32 newtons depending on mesh counts.
High tension screens simply print better... Higher tension equals more open area and lower off contact. No name mesh wont cut it (We tried). This is yet another reason why we only use High Quality Saati and Murakami mesh. Frames are stretched to 28-32 newtons expecting them to settle around 23-25 newtons.
- We only use the best adhesives.
2 Part Polyurethane glue is very chemical resistant, After grinding we pre-coat the frame with adhesive to create the best possible bond between the aluminum and mesh. plus once cured it has a rubbery texture that is easier on mesh and your hands.
- Permanent blockout is available
Tired of wasting time and money on tape? Try permanent blockout!! Our new and improved blockout is extremely chemical resistant, and adds an additional layer of protection to the frame adhesive. We then finish off with a bead of silicon around the inside edge. Just coat, burn, and its ready for the press.

Perfect Tension
I've been in the industry going on 11 years and I've always been hard pressed to find a shop that delivers on tension when it comes to using static frames. Spot Color kills it though. They do great work, no matter the mesh count or frame size.
