Speedball - Hinge Clamps

Hinge Clamps

Swap frames in seconds while maintaining perfect registration

Registration precision determines whether your multi-color prints align perfectly or miss by fractions that ruin the work. These hinge clamps solve the registration challenge by holding your screen frame in exactly the same position for every pull, then releasing instantly when you need to swap screens or clean up. The mechanical advantage of the hinge design creates secure pressure that prevents frame shift mid-print while still allowing single-handed release.

Each clamp stands 3 inches tall with a 2 x 2.5-inch base that provides stable mounting to your printing surface. The paired system creates consistent registration points across your setup, critical when you're building up layers in multi-color work where even slight misalignment becomes obvious. Heavy-duty construction handles the repeated clamping and release cycles that production work demands.

Screen printers working through editions appreciate how these clamps eliminate the fumbling and repositioning that wastes time between pulls. Lock your frame, print your run, release and swap screens, lock again, the workflow becomes efficient rather than interrupted. Whether you're printing posters, textile designs, or fine art editions, maintaining precise registration across color separations makes the difference between professional results and obvious mistakes.
