Buy Pre-Stretched Screens | Aluminum Mesh Screen | Burning Screens for Screen Printing – Oregon

Buckets of Ink supplies high-performance pre-stretched screens, aluminum mesh screen frames, and burning screens for professional screen printing in Oregon. Whether you are running an apparel shop in Portland, a signage production facility in Salem, or a startup print studio in Eugene, our pre-stretched screens and aluminum mesh options deliver consistent results, faster setup, and sharper stencils for every print run.

Why Choose Pre-Stretched Screens?

Pre-stretched screens save time and improve quality by arriving press-ready with uniform tension across the mesh. Shops benefit from reduced labor, consistent off-contact, and cleaner stencil registration. For high-volume shops using plastisol inks or eco-conscious decorators using water-based inks, pre-stretched screens eliminate the variability that comes with manual stretching, resulting in smoother production and consistent print quality.

Aluminum Mesh Screens – Durable and Reusable

Aluminum mesh screens resist warping and corrosion, especially valuable in the Pacific Northwest where environmental moisture can damage wood frames. Our aluminum frames maintain tension longer and can be re-meshed repeatedly, making them a cost-effective and sustainable choice for professional decorators. The lightweight construction allows for easier handling on both manual and automatic presses, while the welded corners ensure structural stability for accurate stencil exposure.

Burning Screens for Perfect Stencils

Burning screens is a critical step in the screen printing workflow, where a design is exposed onto a photo-emulsion-coated screen using UV light. High-quality aluminum mesh screens ensure your stencils burn evenly and hold fine details, making registration and multicolor printing easier. Whether you’re burning basic logo designs or complex halftone separations, our screens and emulsions like CCI emulsions deliver crisp, professional stencils every time.

Mesh Counts and Sizes for Every Application

We stock mesh counts ranging from 110 for heavy ink deposits to 305 for detailed halftone and four-color process printing. Popular frame sizes are available to suit apparel printing, signage, and specialty substrates. Shops focused on small-run customization benefit from frames ready to use out of the box, while high-volume operations gain reliable tools for fast, consistent output.
