Title: Click Frame
Post by: im_mcguire on June 08, 2015, 03:22:13 PM
Looks like I am going to be ordering these from now on out.  My supplier said they are no longer going to carry static frames, and I am not ready to head to newman's.  So I guess this is a goo a time to try them out.

Dynamic is running a sale on a 6 pack for $141 right now.  Anyone else out there use these?  Ill have mine in tomorrow, and give a full review if anyone cares to hear it.

I have some of their predecessors, the Green Screen. Not as tight as they say, but no worse than most statics.
A helluva lot easier to re-mesh as well.

Back when he used them, Homer here even figured out how to make the re-mesh panels himself.

if you are using the manual size ones, I have a STACK of them here I'll let go cheap....but as Frog knows, the shipping may be a killer.

Homie, you need to post a DIY on how you made the panels

I dumped my green screens at the recycler for their weight in metal.

At least the Dynamic Click Frames are lighter!

Yes a review would be nice.
Sounds like registration may be an issue on an auto if that loose.
Make sure he's not talking you into something between static and roller that
may be less helpful in the long run.

Many suppliers near you to order tight statics from, would think.

We've discussed the various iterations of this system here before (including the Dynamics version) (http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,12362.0.html)
My opinion, they are fine for what they are, but they do not consistently give the 30n they claim or repeat with endorsements in their ad (http://www.dynamicscreenprintingsupply.com/Click-Frame)

ya want beef about these frames? where do I start haha, these things pretty much suck.....30N isn't realistic on them either, they are too weak to support the tension. I had some up to 30N with my own panels but you need ALL your frames to be 30n or you have yourself a big ol' mess with registration. making panels for these isn't too hard, but it's time consuming. I made a stack of S mesh panels a few years back I think....If I was starting out with a frame system it wouldn't be these, that's for sure. I have about 100 or so kicking around. I would go with those EZ frames.

If you're not ready for retensionables, then a quality stretcher would probably be a better bet. We have a very old M&R Blue Max that works great for the statics. If you could find a Harlacher, you'd be golden, but you'd probably have to pay through the nose for one, even used.

They'll cost you a little more, but the EZ Frames from Shur-Loc are pretty nice.

What Homer said is so true. POS and a waist of cash. Save yourself the headaches and stay static from another vendor or get some used Newmans.

We find that they work well for basic low quantity stuff.  We just use a couple mesh counts for them.  Newmans are our go to though.

If you wawnt 23x31's of the panel frames / green screens / trax frames etc let me know, we reduced our inventory of them and have close to 50 to sell.

Not the best system but easy to mesh in house and inexpensive.
