GSF Elite 23" x 31" 156 White Mesh Alum Frame
Premium aluminum screen printing frame featuring GSF Elite Screen Sealant technology, 156 white mesh, and durable construction for efficient production, reduced taping, and consistent print quality.
Characteristics
The GSF Elite 23" x 31" 156 White Mesh Alum Frame is engineered for screen printers seeking reliable performance, efficient workflow, and consistent print results.
Built on GSF's proven aluminum frame platform, this screen features precision-stretched 156 white mesh designed to deliver an excellent balance of ink deposit, detail reproduction, and production versatility.
What sets the Elite series apart is the integrated GSF Screen Sealant System. This specialized edge-sealing technology helps eliminate the need for traditional screen taping during production and reclaiming, reducing labor costs, minimizing waste, and improving shop efficiency. By removing the repetitive process of applying and removing tape, printers can spend more time producing and less time preparing screens.
The 156 white mesh is a popular all-purpose mesh count suitable for plastisol inks, white underbases, spot colors, athletic graphics, and general garment printing. Combined with GSF's durable aluminum frame construction, the Elite series provides excellent tension retention, long service life, and dependable registration throughout production.
