Nortech
The Saati Hi-Tex ECO HD Panel 23″×31″ (6-Pack) is the standard-thread, high-durability mesh panel designed specifically for use with the Nortech ECO HD Frame 23″×31″.

Woven into a plastic locking strip for direct installation into the ECO HD Frame channel system with no adhesive required.
📦 What’s Included
Six (6) Saati Hi-Tex mesh panels for the Nortech ECO HD Frame 23″×31″, pre-woven into plastic locking strips. Requires Nortech Stretching Tool for installation. Must be degreased before coating.

Description
Standard Thread Durability for the ECO HD Frame — Built for High-Volume Production
When you’re running an ECO HD Frame on a production automatic press, you need mesh that can keep up. The Saati Hi-Tex ECO HD Panel gives you the thick-thread durability that production plastisol printing demands — high tension tolerance, strong tear resistance, consistent performance across thousands of prints — delivered in the ECO system’s no-adhesive locking strip format.
📦 What’s Included
Six (6) Saati Hi-Tex mesh panels sized 23″×31″ for the Nortech ECO HD Frame 23″×31″, pre-woven into plastic locking strips. Mesh count and color selected at purchase. Also requires the Nortech ECO Stretching Tool (sold separately). Hi-Tex has no surface treatment — must be properly degreased and abraded before every use.

Why Hi-Tex is the Right Choice for Production Plastisol Shops
💪 Holds High Tension Under Production Stress
Hi-Tex’s thicker thread diameter allows it to be stretched and maintained at high tension levels without the risk of tearing that thinner mesh can experience. On automatic presses running sustained production, this durability directly translates to longer panel life and fewer unplanned downtime events.
🎯 Optimized for Heavy Plastisol Deposits
The thicker thread and narrower mesh opening of Hi-Tex is ideal for high-opacity plastisol printing — white underbases, heavy spot colors, and specialty high-deposit inks. The mesh delivers the ink volume needed for full opacity on dark garments without excessive squeegee pressure.
🔄 ECO HD Frame Compatible
Pre-woven into the same plastic locking strip system as all ECO panels — snaps directly into the ECO HD Frame 23×31 channel. Tensions with the stretching tool, verified with the tension meter. Same installation process, production-grade mesh.
Hi-Tex ECO HD Panel Mesh Count Guide
| Mesh Count | Color | Thread Dia. | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 110 Hi-Tex | ⬜ White | 80 µm | High-opacity white underbases, thick specialty inks |
| 110 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 80 µm | Heavy underbases, metallic and shimmer inks |
| 158 Hi-Tex | ⬜ White | 64 µm | Standard plastisol spot colors, general production |
| 158 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 64 µm | Halftone-sensitive plastisol production work |
| 196 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 55 µm | Fine detail plastisol, halftones, tighter artwork |
| 230 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 48 µm | High-detail color, simulated process |
| 305 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 34 µm | Ultra-fine detail, 4-color process |
Saati Hi-Tex vs. Hi-Dro — Which ECO HD Panel Is Right for Your Job?
Both Hi-Tex and Hi-Dro ECO panels fit the ECO HD Frame 23×31. Most high-performance production shops stock both — Hi-Tex for heavy plastisol production, Hi-Dro for water-based and halftone work. Here’s how to choose:
| Feature / Factor | 🔴 Hi-Tex HD (This Product) | 💧 Hi-Dro |
|---|---|---|
| Thread Diameter (158/157 count) | 64 µm — Thicker | 48 µm — Thinner |
| Tear Resistance | Excellent — production grade | Good — handle with care |
| High Tension Tolerance | Excellent — built for auto press | Good — thinner thread has limits |
| Plastisol Performance | Excellent — decades-proven workhorse | Good — softer hand result |
| Water-Based Performance | Good — requires degreasing first | Excellent — purpose-built |
| Halftone Performance | Good — thicker threads can clip fine dots | Excellent — less dot clipping |
| Surface Treatment | None — must degrease before every use | Plasma treated — coat immediately |
| Print Hand Feel | Standard — heavier ink deposit | Softer hand — less ink driven in |
| Best For | High-opacity plastisol, heavy underbases, all-day auto press production | Water-based, discharge, halftones, soft-hand plastisol |
Pro tip: Most high-performance production shops stock both. Hi-Tex HD for your high-opacity plastisol runs and underbases. Hi-Dro panels for your water-based, discharge, and halftone work. The ECO HD Frame’s locking strip system makes switching between the two effortless.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between the Hi-Tex ECO Panel and Hi-Tex ECO HD Panel?
The Hi-Tex ECO Panel fits the standard ECO Frame 23×31. The Hi-Tex ECO HD Panel fits the ECO HD Frame 23×31 with its larger 1.5″×1.75″ profile. Same Saati Hi-Tex mesh, same locking strip system — different frame compatibility.
Do I need to degrease Hi-Tex ECO HD Panels?
Yes — degrease before every use. Hi-Tex has no surface treatment. Use a quality screen degreaser before coating with emulsion. This is the key difference from Hi-Dro, which can be coated immediately.
