We recently bought a used MPM UP1500 to upgrade from a manual DeHaart printer we'd been using for years. On the DeHaart, all of our stencils were 15" square. We purchased at auction a stencil adapter for an MPM printer (ie: 29" wide), however it's

We would be concerned that frame-less stencils are more easily damaged.

DEK can take the 20x20 frame with an adapter. Stencil image is center justified. Contact DEK for p/n and price for adapter.

Nancy, The mounting hole locations in most standard frames are the universal in both the screen and stencil industry, more over some of the newer machines clamp the frame in place. Most printers are very adjustable this way. If you were using a "qu

That is all we have ever used ("Zelflex" by LPKF). They work great. We have 300+ stencils stored in print drawers, probably 3'x3'x5' area. The stencils are also cheaper by more than 1/2 from our supplier. The only stencils we have in permanent fra
