Shur-Loc M3 23" x 31" - 123 Yellow Round Mesh panel
Professional yellow monofilament polyester mesh panel designed for 23" x 31" M3-style round roller frames, providing dependable tension, consistent print quality, and convenient in-house screen stretching.
Characteristics
The Shur-Loc M3 23" x 31" – 123 Yellow Round Mesh Panel is a professional screen printing mesh panel designed for use with 23" x 31" M3-style round roller frames. Shur-Loc's panel system allows printers to load and tension mesh directly onto compatible roller frames, providing a convenient alternative to manually cutting and positioning loose mesh.
Shur-Loc's stretching process is designed to help shops achieve repeatable screen tension while simplifying mesh installation. The preconfigured panel format reduces much of the measuring and positioning associated with stretching loose mesh, making it well suited for professional production environments.
The 123 mesh count provides a versatile mesh opening suitable for general textile screen printing where a moderate-to-heavier ink deposit is desired. It is a useful choice for spot-color graphics, lettering, athletic designs, and many everyday plastisol and compatible water-based ink applications.
The yellow-dyed mesh helps reduce light scattering through the mesh threads during exposure, which can improve stencil-edge definition compared with comparable undyed white mesh. Dyed mesh may require somewhat longer exposure than white mesh, making proper exposure testing important when establishing production settings.
Designed for compatible 23" x 31" M3 roller frames, the panel allows the frame to be re-meshed as production requirements change while supporting dependable tension, registration, and consistent print performance.

- Verify that the panel is being installed on a compatible 23" x 31" Shur-Loc M3-style roller frame.
- Install the mesh panel according to Shur-Loc's recommended M3 roller-frame stretching procedure.
- Position the panel evenly before progressively increasing tension around the frame.
- Bring the mesh up to working tension gradually rather than attempting to reach final tension immediately.
- Maintain even tension to help improve registration, ink release, stencil performance, and print-to-print consistency.
- Check final mesh tension with a calibrated tension meter before coating and exposing the screen.
- Yellow mesh may require a longer exposure than comparable white mesh because the dye reduces light transmission through the mesh threads.
- Perform an exposure test when changing mesh type, emulsion, coating technique, or exposure equipment.
- Select final working tension according to the specific mesh manufacturer and thread diameter identified on the Shur-Loc panel.
- Refer to the appropriate manufacturer-specific tension recommendations when establishing final working tension.
