Has anyone else had problems with the space saver stencils and frames. The stencil tends to bow in the middle when clamped. These are the frames with only 2 pins to hold the stencil in place. Thanks for any advice

James, The problem is probably the result of a low quality thin walled frame. The company that originally came up with this design uses a 1/8 " wall frame. This frame does not bow at the standard 40 Ncm tension. There are thinner walled "knock off

I agree - beware of the cheap imitations. To date, I have had very good experience with the VectorGuard technology. A bit more pricey - but usually worth it.

I'm not sure of the timeframe with which you have to work, but I'd consider sending the frame and mounted stencil back to DEK for repair. I'm not a huge fan of these systems, because I believe consistancy in the process is critical, and these system

We have a few Bliss racks. They were made for 29x29 frames but we use them for vectorgaurd and foil. DEK ships vectorgaurd stencils in a nice, thin cardboard box. We use these boxes for storing vectorgaurd + foils. You can store a handful of foil

I would challenge anyone to present a legitimate cost justification on one of these machines that was not related to a very specific product/project. In other words I want to see what the advantage is $$ wise purchasing this machine over a screen pr
