Ecotex ETEX-OCHC screen hinge clamps
These two galvanized steel hinges use large adjustment knobs to hold the screen.
What this tool is for
These two galvanized steel hinges use large adjustment knobs to hold the screen. They are worth comparing if your bench setup needs adjustment for off-contact, the gap between the mesh and the material when you are not pulling a stroke. Screen Print Direct describes an adjustable range on this model. Check your frame, work surface and hardware together before treating that range as the fit for a specific job.

Fit and buying advice
The clamps make a small single-screen station practical without taking the space of a rotary press. If your biggest challenge is getting several colors back into position, work out how you will locate each screen and each sheet. A multi-head press solves a different part of that process.

Questions about this tool
Will the clamps accept a metal frame?
The supplier lists wood and metal frames. Check the profile and thickness where the jaws will grip your exact frame.
Why does off-contact matter for a tabletop setup?
It affects how the screen meets and lifts away from the work. Compare the support and frame setup with the directions for the ink and material you use.
What should I plan before fixing the hinges to the board?
Place the frame where you intend to print and check swing clearance, jaw placement and the location of your paper or work stops.
