Speedball - Screen Printing Aluminum Frames

Screen Printing Aluminum Frames

Professional aluminum frames deliver tension-stable screens ready to print

Professional screen printing demands frames that stay flat and taut through hundreds of pulls. Speedball constructs these aluminum frames with hand-cut, welded corners and smooth ground edges that eliminate the warping and flex common in wood alternatives. The metal construction maintains precise tension across the mesh, ensuring consistent ink deposit and registration across your entire print run.

White 110 monofilament polyester mesh comes pre-stretched and secured to the frame. This medium mesh count works effectively across water-based textile inks, acrylics, and paper printing applications, fine enough for solid coverage and detail retention, open enough to release ink cleanly without clogging. The polyester fabric resists both stretching and chemical degradation, maintaining stable tension through repeated cleanings with harsh solvents.

Welded aluminum construction means these frames handle the physical demands of production work: squeegee pressure, repeated mesh contact with substrates, and the torque of off-contact printing. The smooth ground edges protect both your hands during setup and the mesh from abrasion points that cause premature failure. Whether you're printing editions or developing techniques, these frames provide the dimensional stability that separates clean prints from registration headaches.
