The Kwik Stretch System uses a specially designed two-part aluminium profile, which lock together on all four sides to hold the fabric while the frame is surrounded by a pneumatic tube that is inflated to add tension to the fabric.
G G Cade says the entre process takes just three or four minutes to produce screen fabric up to 112cm sq.
The new system is capable of serving all screen formats, from small-format screens up to large-formats.
Within a few short minutes, screen fabrics can be prepared and stretched to whatever tension is required, every time”
Lewis Stovin, managing director for G G Cade, comments: “The idea was to create a high quality, fully portable fabric tensioning system that is easy to use and can be set up on any work bench and used by almost anyone in the printing department.
“Within a few short minutes, screen fabrics can be prepared and stretched to whatever tension is required, every time."
