quote:
There are many things that can contribute to your screens ripping. I find the most common factor is plain all "mis-handling" of the frames. Unfortunately, rather than correct the handling problem, most shops will lower their screen tensions as a quick-fix. And, these decisions are often made by the press operators and screen maker without the knowledge of management.

I fired a screen guy for doing just that. His lazy ass didn't want to retension nor make new screens so he lowered the tension across the board. My 180's sit at 32n and he had then down at 24n.. they don't break as much he said.

It's all in the handling of the screens and letting the staff know how important it is to handle them carefully.
