Get Help With Your Screen Order
If you are not sure which service you need, start with the enquiry form on our contact page and tell us what you are printing, the size of the screen, and how many frames you need. We work with small studios, busy print shops and hobby printers, so the support you get is practical and straight to the point.
We can assist with new screen stretching, restretching, mesh removal, adhesive application and frame cleaning. For urgent work we will advise what can be turned around quickly and what needs a longer cycle for proper drying and tension setting, especially in damp coastal weather.
- New screen stretching for garment printing
- Restretch existing frames and replace worn mesh
- Custom sizes for special jobs and repeat runs
What To Check Before Sending Frames In
Before you book a pickup or bring frames to Maitland, it helps to check whether the aluminium is bent, the corners are loose, or the mesh has started to lift. A quick inspection at your side can save time and keep the work moving without delays.
If a frame has old adhesive, torn mesh or build-up from ink and cleaning chemicals, we can advise whether it is better to restore it or replace the mesh completely. We also look at tension levels, because a screen that feels fine by eye can still print unevenly and waste ink.
- Check for bent frames and damaged corners
- Look for mesh lift, pinholes or loose tension
- Note any old adhesive or heavy residue
Workshop Support In Maitland
Our Maitland workshop handles screen stretching, cleaning and inspections for local clients in Cape Town and for orders moving to other provinces. This is where screens are checked for fit, tension and finish before they are released for collection or delivery.
We know workshop timing matters when a job is lined up for a production run, school event or retail launch. If you need help planning around load-shedding, moisture or a tight print schedule, we can talk through the best timing and order sequence so your screens arrive ready to use.
Deliveries And Collections By Area
We support clients through named routes and local collection points so the handover stays simple. Whether you are in Bellville, on the Paarl route, or waiting for a delivery in Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha, we keep the process clear and practical.
For larger orders, bulk screen stretching and repeat supply runs can be arranged to suit your production needs. Please use the contact form with your screen sizes, quantity and location, and we will come back with the most suitable option.

Screen Care Advice For Better Print Results
Good screen care starts after the job is done. Rinse ink out properly, avoid harsh scraping on the mesh and keep framed screens stored flat where possible so they do not pick up twists or pressure marks. In coastal areas, a dry storage space is important because moisture can affect adhesion and tension over time.
We can also advise on frame cleaning and regular checks between runs. A few minutes of care after each batch can make a real difference to registration, print sharpness and how long the screen lasts before it needs attention agan.
Need An Urgent Turnaround
If a screen fails just before a print run, contact us as early as you can through the enquiry form and include the size, quantity and deadline. We will tell you what is possible, whether it is a restretch, fresh mesh, or a simple inspection and repair.
We do our best to keep urgent work moving without cutting corners. For printers working under time pressure, that means clear feedback, honest lead times and a proper finish that can stand up to repeated use.
