**Superior vs. Inferior: A Sales Technique**

We’ve heard it said that FSP doesn’t stretch screens the same way as a long-established shop. When process differences come up, context matters.

At Frame & Screen Professional, we use both pre-bow stretching and staged (progressive) tensioning, and we see excellent results from both methods.

🔧 Pre-bow stretching (true and modified)
Pre-bow intentionally introduces frame geometry as a compensation mechanism within the tensioning system. A controlled curvature allows the elastic deflection of the frame to help manage polyester mesh relaxation after elongation.
• True pre-bow: one frame at a time with full clamp control (commonly 10 clamps)
• Modified pre-bow: two frames at once — a method some shops use to increase production volume
Both rely on the same mechanical principle and produce comparable results when properly controlled.

📐 Staged (progressive) tensioning
Also widely used in the industry, staged tensioning applies tension in multiple stages throughout the process, allowing the mesh to relax and stabilize between steps. As with any method that relies on material relaxation and verification, time and process control are critical. The frame naturally deflects under load, and that deflection is accounted for at the end of the process, after release (cut-away), when final tension is measured and verified.

Both methods are manufacturer-aligned and address the same physical realities:
👉 Polyester mesh is viscoelastic and relaxes after stretching, and frames elastically deflect under load.

At FSP, this isn’t about superior vs. inferior engineering — it’s about explaining real process differences without turning them into a sales technique. What matters is verified tension, long-term stability, and consistent on-press performance.

The difference is that FSP understands both processes in real-world application and has had great success across a wide range of shops using our screens.

❄️ Steady Growth - Quiet Progress ❄️

A lot of our growth at FSP happens quietly — steady work, consistency, and taking care of the shops that rely on us.

As we approach six years in business on December 24, and with the owner, Aaron, having 22 years personally in this industry, we’re preparing to add a few more stretching machines to keep everything running smooth and reliable as demand continues to build.

Proud to support screen-printing shops with dependable remesh and restretch work.

We’re focused on the long game and improving a little every day. Wishing everyone a Happy Holidays.

Transmitting Positive Contact.

When your screens start with real tension, controlled cycles, and a clean bond, everything downstream hits different.
Registration locks in.
Ink flow stays predictable.
Setup times drop.
Prints snap.

This is where it all begins — at the stretcher, in the details no one sees but every printer feels on press.

FSP
Precision → Relax → Tension → Glue
Repeatable results. Cleaner prints.
Positive contact every time.

***WHAT YOU DONT WANT***
Stopped in to pick up screens for remeshing the other day and ended up helping pull mesh since the shop wasn’t ready.

I’m glad I did. It clearly showed how many screens had let loose from the frame, and none of those were FSP screens.

Out of 140 screens, over 70% had the mesh let loose clean from the glue bond after only a handful of production cycles.
These came from a large screen stretching and remeshing facility.

When stretching is rushed:

• Mesh doesn’t have time to relax and stabilize
• The adhesive doesn’t have time to develop full bond strength before tension is set
• If mesh is taken to tension too quickly without proper relax stages, it will continue to pull after gluing. This puts extra stress on the glue, especially along the short sides because of frame geometry
• This also leads to mesh distortion, which shows up as registration issues on press
• And the result can be mesh letting loose from the frame earlier than expected

At FSP, we use a triple tension method:
tension → relax → tension → relax → final tension and glue

This allows the mesh to stabilize naturally so the bond forms at its true working tension.

Mixed into that stack were screens we stretched.
Only two of ours had popped, and neither let loose from the frame. Both were simply at end-of-life early, not from bond failure.

And to be clear:

Any screen could let loose, including ours, but that happens on a very small scale.
Excessive dip tank time with repeated exposure and not rinsing properly after reclaim can weaken both the mesh and the glue.
Shop chemistry, reclaim workflow, squeegee pressure, and handling all play a role in screen life.

What you don’t want:

• Mesh letting loose from the frame after only a few production cycles. That’s a waste of time and money.

What you do want:

• Mesh fatigue after real production use. That’s normal end-of-life and means the screen did the work and paid for itself.

We focus on screens that last. And when they’re done, they fail the right way, after real work has been completed.

It starts with the screen.

It starts with the screen

FSP LLC was founded for one reason, repeatable results. The founder of FSP owned a contract screen printing company for many years and knows how crucial the fine technical aspects of a screen can make when printing all types of designs. Properly tensioned frames and mesh with equipment from a leader in the industry will ensure our products repeatability press side. Our vision is your vision. “It starts with the screen”.
