Nortech ECO HD Frame 25″×36″ with Four Locking Strips – Large Format Retensionable Screen Printing Frame for Production Auto Press Shops

Nortech

The Nortech ECO HD Frame 25″×36″ is the largest standard ECO frame in the Nortech lineup — purpose-built for large-format automatic screen printing presses running high-volume production. Sharing the same ultra-heavy-duty 1.5″×1.75″ aluminum profile and added wall thickness as the 23×31 HD, this frame delivers maximum rigidity for large print areas where frame flex causes registration problems and ink deposit inconsistency. The no-adhesive locking strip system means mesh panels swap in minutes, on-site, without shipping frames anywhere.

Description

Maximum Frame. Maximum Production. Maximum Print Area.

The 25″×36″ ECO HD Frame is built for shops where size and scale are non-negotiable. Large-format automatic presses running all-over prints, jumbo print areas, or multiple-up printing need a frame that won’t flex under high tension and high production stress. The ECO HD’s larger 1.5″×1.75″ profile and thicker walls deliver the rigidity required — while the locking strip system means you never have to ship a frame out for re-stretching again.

Why Large Format Shops Need the HD Profile

📐 Bigger Print Area — More Flex Risk

Standard aluminum frames flex across wider spans under high squeegee pressure. The HD’s larger profile and thicker walls dramatically reduce this flex — keeping off-contact distance consistent across the entire 25×36 print area and preventing the ink deposit inconsistency that plagues large-format prints on lighter frames.

⚡ Rapid On-Site Re-Tensioning

A 25×36 frame costs more to ship than a smaller frame — making the ECO system’s on-site re-tensioning even more valuable at this size. When tension drops, swap a new panel in under 2 minutes rather than absorbing the shipping cost and turnaround time of sending out a large heavy frame.

🏭 Built for High-Volume Production

The ECO HD 25×36 is comparable in weight and rigidity to traditional M3 roller frames. It handles the demands of high-speed automatic presses running thousands of prints per day without the maintenance overhead of traditional retensionable frame systems.

🎬 Watch: ECO Frame Panel Installation

Compatible Panels for the ECO HD Frame 25″×36″

The 25×36 ECO HD Frame takes 25×36 mesh panels specifically. These are available in Hi-Dro and Hi-Tex mesh types from Saati:

Complete Your ECO HD Frame 25×36 Setup

Everything you need alongside the frame.

💧 Saati Hi-Dro ECO HD Panel 25×36 (6-Pack) →

Thin-thread, plasma-treated mesh for water-based inks, discharge, halftones, and soft-hand plastisol. No degreasing required before coating.

🔧 Nortech ECO Stretching Tool →

Required for panel installation. Seats the locking strip into the channel and applies even tension across all four sides of the 25×36 frame.

📊 Nortech Tension Meter →

Verify tension after every panel install. On a 25×36 frame, consistent tension across the full span is critical for registration accuracy.

🟦 Screen Printing Emulsions →

Chromaline, Murakami, and Saati emulsions — SBQ, dual-cure, and diazo for every ink system and mesh count.

🎨 Screen Printing Inks →

Plastisol, water-based, discharge, and specialty inks. The large print area of the 25×36 makes proper mesh count selection especially important.

🧪 Screen Cleaning Chemicals →

Ink removers, emulsion removers, degreasers — all compatible with the ECO HD’s no-adhesive system.

FAQPage structured data markup included.

What size panels fit the ECO HD Frame 25×36?

This frame takes 25×36 panels only. The Saati Hi-Dro ECO HD Panel 25×36 (6-Pack) is available at River City Supply. 23×31 panels do not fit this frame.

Why choose the HD frame over the standard ECO Frame for large format printing?

A 25×36 span flexes more than a 23×31 under squeegee pressure. The HD’s 1.5″×1.75″ profile and thicker walls resist this flex — keeping off-contact consistent and ink deposit uniform. For large format auto press work, the HD is the right choice.

Is the 25×36 ECO HD Frame dip tank safe?

Yes — fully welded, airtight, safe for dip tanks and chemical reclaim systems.

Where does this ship from?
