Screens & Tools | Zim International

Our Screen Printing Screens

Zim Frames are custom made, and are clearly the best on the market today. Made from Douglas Fir wood, we use a triple mortise and tenon joint for extra durability. Zim Frames are carefully crafted with 1 1/2" x 1 5/8" wood stock, which allows for the highest tension possible. Larger frames can be made using a 1 1/2" x 2" wood stock.

Zim Frames are nicely sanded, with rounded corners. The mesh is monofilament polyester, and is available in 30-160 white mesh counts and 200-390 gold mesh counts. Mesh is available for purchase per yard in 50" and 60 " widths.

Scoop Coaters

Coat screen evenly and uniformly with Zim Emulsion Coaters. Designed for easy and comfortable handling, they provide a smooth layer of emulsion. Scoop coaters are designed with just the right angle, and are calibrated to give a perfect coating of emulsion every time.

They are available in sizes from 2 inches to 72 inches for different applications.

Coating area is one inch less than actual size

When ordering a scoop coater, measure the inside dimension of your screen, and subtract two inches, allowing one inch between the emulsion and the frame.
