Saati Hi-Tex MZX Newman Style Roller Frame Mesh Panels 23″×31″ (6-Pack) – Standard Thread Heavy-Duty Mesh for Newman MZX High-Tension Production Roller Frames
Nortech
The Saati Hi-Tex MZX Newman Style Roller Frame Mesh Panels 23″×31″ (6-Pack) bring the proven standard-thread Hi-Tex mesh to the Newman MZX-style roller frame — Newman’s manual press and small auto press retensionable system. Built from Saati’s high-modulus Hi-Tex polyester with a thicker thread diameter for superior tear resistance and high tension tolerance, these panels are the plastisol workhorse choice for shops with MZX frames running solid spot colors and heavy ink deposits. Must be degreased before every use. Not compatible with M3 frames.
⚠️ Frame Compatibility & Degreasing Warning
These panels fit MZX-style Newman roller frames only (1 7/16″ roller, 35N max tension). NOT compatible with M3 frames. Hi-Tex has no surface treatment — must be degreased and abraded before every use.

Description
Hi-Tex Plastisol Durability for Newman MZX Roller Frames
MZX frames at 35 Newtons represent a significant step up from fixed aluminum frame tension levels — and at that tension, Hi-Tex’s thicker thread structure holds up under the repeated squeegee pressure of manual press production. For shops with MZX frames doing solid plastisol spot color work, underbases, and heavy-deposit printing, Hi-Tex delivers the ink volume and screen durability that production requires.
📦 What’s Included
Six (6) Saati Hi-Tex mesh panels sized 23″×31″ with MZX-profile locking strips, ready to install in your Newman MZX-style roller frame. Mesh count and color selected at purchase. Mesh panel only — roller frame not included. Newman Roller Master or manual tools required. Must degrease and abrade before coating.
MZX vs. M3 — Know Your Frame Before Ordering
These panels are for MZX-style frames only (1 7/16″ roller diameter, 35N max tension). They will NOT fit M3 frames. Check your frame: M3 has 1 5/8″ rollers, larger corners, requires a 3/4″ socket. MZX has 1 7/16″ rollers, smaller hardware, lower maximum tension. When in doubt, call us at (512) 454-0505 before ordering.
🟠 MZX Frame (Order These)
1 7/16″ roller · 35N max · smaller hardware · manual & small auto shops
🔵 M3 Frame (Order M3 Panels Instead)
1 5/8″ roller · 85N max · 3/4″ socket · larger hardware · production auto press
🔗 You’ll Also Need: Locking Strips
These mesh panels require locking strips to secure the mesh into your Newman roller frame channels. Locking strips are sold separately — add a roll to your order to complete your setup. → Nortech Newman Roller Frame Locking Strip (50ft Roll)

⚠️ Required: Degrease Before Every Use
Hi-Tex has no surface treatment. Degrease and abrade every panel before coating with emulsion — before first use and before every reuse. Skipping causes poor stencil adhesion. Hi-Dro MZX panels coat immediately without degreasing.
Hi-Tex MZX — Mesh Count Guide
| Mesh Count | Color | Thread Dia. | Open Area | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 110 Hi-Tex | ⬜ White | 80 µm | — | High-opacity white underbases, thick specialty inks, metallic inks |
| 110 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 80 µm | — | Heavy underbases where reduced UV scatter is preferred |
| 158 Hi-Tex | ⬜ White | 64 µm | ~38% | Most popular. Standard plastisol spot colors, general production |
| 158 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 64 µm | ~38% | Halftone-sensitive plastisol work, tighter artwork |
| 196 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 55 µm | — | Fine detail plastisol, halftones at standard thread durability |
| 230 Hi-Tex | 🟨 Yellow | 48 µm | — | High-detail color, simulated process, fine halftone plastisol |
Hi-Dro vs. Hi-Tex — Choosing the Right Mesh for Your Newman Roller Frame
Both Hi-Dro and Hi-Tex panels are available for Newman roller frames. Most shops stock both and switch based on job type. Here’s how to decide:
| Feature / Factor | 🔴 Hi-Tex (This Product) | 💧 Hi-Dro |
|---|---|---|
| Thread Diameter (158/157 count) | 64 µm — Thicker | 48 µm — Thinner |
| Tear Resistance | Excellent — production grade | Handle with care |
| Squeegee Pressure Needed | Higher — heavier deposits | Lower — easier printing |
| Plastisol Performance | Excellent — decades-proven workhorse | Good — softer hand result |
| Water-Based Performance | Good — must degrease first | Excellent — purpose-built |
| Halftone Performance | Good — thicker threads clip fine dots | Excellent — less dot clipping |
| Surface Treatment | None — must degrease before use | Plasma treated — coat immediately |
| High Tension Tolerance | Excellent — built for high Newton levels | Good — thinner threads have limits |
| Best For | Heavy plastisol, white underbases, high-deposit production | Water-based, discharge, halftones, soft-hand plastisol |
Pro tip: Most high-performance shops stock both. One mesh type for water-based and halftone work, the other for heavy plastisol production. Roller frames make switching practical — retension to the new mesh count and go.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are these panels compatible with M3 Newman roller frames?
No. MZX panels fit MZX frames only. If you have M3 frames, order Hi-Tex M3 panels instead. Call (512) 454-0505 to confirm your frame type.
Do Hi-Tex MZX panels need degreasing before coating?
Yes — always. Use a quality screen degreaser before coating with emulsion. Hi-Dro MZX panels do not require degreasing.
What is the difference between Hi-Tex and Hi-Dro for MZX frames?
Hi-Tex: thicker thread, more durable, plastisol workhorse, must degrease. Hi-Dro MZX: thinner thread, plasma-treated, no degreasing, best for water-based and halftones. Most shops stock both.
