• “MESH ONLY” SCREENS : Quality Stainless Steel and Polyester meshes properly stretched and balanced to optimal tension across our (or your) frames at any of the following angles : 45°, 30°, 22 ½ ° & 90° (+ 3%).
   
• “PRECOATED” SCREENS : Our high-performance Bi-Sensitized or PVA/PVOH emulsions uniformly coated onto our stretched screens from 0.0001” to 0.0300” thick (in 0.0001” increments), ready for quick exposure and easy development in your facility.
   
• “IMAGED” SCREENS : Screens arrive at your facility ready to print. Highly skilled, quality-conscious KRISTEEL-MEC technicians image and develop your screens from film positives you supply or we generate from your supplied drawing or CAD data.

When monitoring screen mesh tightness, KRISTEEL-MEC recommends checking mesh “tension”, measured in newton per centimeter (n/cm), rather than testing screen “deflection” in mils per pound. Tension testing will reveal any difference in tightness between the two perpendicular mesh wire directions within a single screen, which the deflection method cannot detect. Measuring in n/cm also provides a means of determining whether or not the mesh was taken beyond its recommended “yield point” during the stretching process.
