Shur-Loc Mesh Panel EZ 23" x 31" - 255/40 Yellow
Professional 255-count yellow screen printing mesh panel with a 40-micron thread diameter, designed for Shur-Loc E-Z frames and high-detail printing applications requiring controlled ink deposits and consistent screen tension.
Characteristics
The Shur-Loc Mesh Panel EZ 23" x 31" – 255/40 Yellow is a precision screen printing mesh panel designed for use with the Shur-Loc E-Z Frame System. Shur-Loc's panel system allows printers to stretch and replace mesh in-house without glue, providing a fast and repeatable method for maintaining properly tensioned screens. Shur-Loc states that E-Z screens can be stretched in approximately 2–3 minutes.
Featuring a 255 threads-per-inch mesh count with a 40-micron thread diameter, this configuration provides a fine mesh structure suited to detailed artwork, halftones, small text, and applications where a controlled ink deposit is important. The mesh designation identifies the number of threads per inch followed by the thread diameter in microns.
The yellow-dyed mesh helps reduce light scatter during stencil exposure, making fine-detail stencil production easier to control. Its higher mesh count makes the panel particularly useful for detailed graphics and thinner ink deposits rather than applications requiring heavy ink coverage.
Shur-Loc's engineered fabric panels feature pre-softened corners and deflection curves designed to help the mesh reach consistent, optimal tension when installed. The removable panel design also allows mesh to be replaced without grinding away adhesive or permanently bonding mesh to the frame.

- 40-micron thread diameter
- Yellow-dyed mesh for improved exposure control
- Designed for 23" x 31" Shur-Loc E-Z frames
- Suitable for fine lines, small text, and detailed halftones
- Helps provide a controlled, relatively thin ink deposit
- Engineered panel construction promotes consistent screen tension
- Pre-softened corners and engineered deflection curves support proper tensioning
- Mesh can be stretched and replaced in-house
- Glueless installation with the Shur-Loc E-Z system
- Removable mesh panel simplifies screen replacement
- E-Z system can stretch a new screen in approximately 2–3 minutes
- Reusable frame system reduces the need to replace the complete screen frame
- Install the panel according to the recommended Shur-Loc E-Z stretching sequence and tension specifications for the particular mesh manufacturer.
- Follow the appropriate manufacturer-specific tension recommendations, as proper tension can vary depending on the mesh used in the panel.
- Because 255/40 is a relatively fine mesh configuration, pair it with an emulsion, exposure setup, ink, and artwork appropriate for fine-detail printing.
- Maintain even tension across the panel to help support consistent registration and print quality.
- Verify screen tension before critical production runs.
- Yellow mesh helps reduce light scatter during exposure, supporting improved stencil definition for detailed artwork.
- Perform an exposure test when establishing settings for a new mesh, emulsion, or exposure system.
- Avoid excessive mechanical force or sharp tools when installing, reclaiming, or handling the mesh.
- Use appropriate care when handling the finer 40-micron threads to help prevent mesh damage.
