Deco Tech Screen Making Services

Custom Screen Making for Industrial Screen Printing

Deco Tech manufactures custom screen printing screens for industrial decorators and manufacturers. Choose stretch-and-glue, pre-sensitized or fully imaged screens based on how much of the prepress process you want completed before the screen arrives.

Built for production, not just exposure. Mesh tension, frame condition, emulsion, artwork and final inspection all affect what happens on press. Our screen department prepares each screen with the finished printing process in mind.

Choose Your Screen Making Service

Some customers expose screens in-house. Others want a finished screen that can go directly to the press. Deco Tech supports both.

  • Degreased mesh
  • Mesh bonded to the frame
  • Ideal for reusable aluminum frames

Production Quality

Built for Consistent Screen Quality

A screen can look acceptable and still create problems on press. Consistent mesh tension, proper preparation, secure bonding, controlled emulsion coating and accurate imaging all contribute to print quality and repeatability.

Every completed Deco Tech screen is inspected before shipment so obvious defects are caught before the screen reaches production.

Prepare Mesh and frames are prepared for the next production step.
Tension Mesh is pneumatically stretched to the specified tension.
Coat & Image Emulsion and artwork imaging are added when ordered.
Inspect Finished screens are checked before packaging and shipment.
