MESH TESTING

Mesh Counter 50 - 250

Invaluable tool for determining the mesh threads per inch and also halftone counts. Place you screen on a light table and the thinly spaced lines cause a moiré pattern that point to the mesh count. Moiré will display for 300 mesh as a pattern at 150 and 100. Mesh count is probably the most often-used screen modification because it is the most predictable change to ink deposit or ink flow so this will help in the screen room or on press. Instructions included.

Tension Meters

Before you buy a screen tension meter, we think you should know what makes the Newman ST-Meter special. Ours is the only meter in the world with all stainless steel hardened gears, shock-proof industrial grade internal gear movement and all jeweled sapphire bearings, giving you a screen tension meter of exceptional quality that will last longer and produce consistent readings every time. (All other mechanical meters have non-compound softer brass gears and bushing, greatly reducing their shock-resistance, long-term accuracy and life.) The crystal is shatterproff and curved to avoid glare and the heavy-duty protective aluminum housing makes for the most durable meter made anywhere. The modular construction assures easy and inexpensive repairs should it become necessary. Get the best screen tension meter available.
