Known as the "Kwik Stretch System" - these stretchers require no fabric clamps, no precision engineered construction, and no special skills to achieve screen fabric tension. Instead of fabric clamps, the system uses specially designed two-part aluminium profiles, which lock together on all four sides to hold the fabric securely. The frame is surrounded by a special pneumatic tube, which is inflated to add tension to the fabric. The whole process takes only three of four minutes to produce tensioned screen fabric up to 112cm2. The system was originally designed to serve the high end of the screen printing market such as electronics, solar panels, decal manufacturers and specialised flat glass printers who demand the most control and consistency of screen fabric tension. However, as the system is relatively inexpensive, it will also meet the needs of the wider screen printing market. For more information, please visit: www.ggcade.co.uk
